History

Pattonville was built in 1954 by the U.S. Army for about 50 million marks. Four officer villas and 52 apartment buildings were built with 936 apartments. The four-star General George Smith Patton Jr. was the inspiration for the name of settlement, which housed up to 3,750 military personnel.

In the summer of 1993, the American army withdrew and the site is used for civilian purposes ever since. The purpose of association Pattonville / Sonnenberg settlement, consisting of the towns of Ludwigsburg, Kornwestheim and Remseck, acquired the entire area on 21 December 1994 for 94.7 million Mark. Since this is a military conversion area, the state of Baden- Württemberg involved in its cities and residential promotion in the expansion and renovation. Seven construction phases were formed. The aim was to create in Pattonville by 2011 modern and well-developed living space for about 7000 people. Currently (2013 ), the settlement about 6000 inhabitants.

The land belonged to 1993, mainly for district Aldingen (municipality Remseck ). The new use as a residential area led to splitting the district. The western part of the city has since been Kornwestheim, the eastern remains of the city Remseck.
