Through the historic town center of Gündelbach

A guided tour with Martina Kern and Martina Bahmer **Gündelbach Neighborhood Tour – History and Viticulture in Harmony** Gündelbach, idyllically nestled in the vineyard-dotted landscape of the Stromberg, looks back on a long and rich history. The first known mention of the village dates back to around 1100, when it was referred to in a document as “Ginderatebach.” At the end of the 12th century, Gündelbach belonged to the Eselsburg domain, whose influence shaped the village’s development for many centuries. With the reorganization of Württemberg, the village became part of the Maulbronn district in 1806. Since 1938, Gündelbach and the other villages of the former Eselsburg domain have been part of what was then the Vaihingen district. To this day, Gündelbach has retained its original character as a wine-growing village. The historic buildings, the organic village layout, and the surrounding vineyards paint a vivid picture of life in past generations. For centuries, viticulture and agriculture shaped the daily lives of the people and continue to define the village’s character to this day. On this neighborhood tour, Martina Kern and Martina Bahmer take visitors on a journey through the village’s history. Stopping at selected buildings and historic sites, they tell the stories of the people who lived and worked here and explain the history of individual houses, whose facades often reveal more than one might suspect at first glance. In the process, historical developments become just as apparent as the unique characteristics of a village that has managed to preserve its rural charm and its close connection to viticulture. The tour offers fascinating insights into Gündelbach’s past and invites you to discover the village with fresh eyes. Anyone interested in local history, historic buildings, and the culture of the wine region will enjoy an authentic tour through one of the most charming wine villages in the Vaihingen area.
