History
The origin communities belonged since 1938 to the district Nürtingen and went with this 1973 in the district of Esslingen.
The municipality is Lenningen ( with Hochwang and Schlattstall ), Schopf hole and Unterlenningen created on 1 January 1975 by the merger of the previously independent municipalities Gutenberg, Oberlenningen ( with bridges ).
Districts
Bridges was first mentioned in 1123 and amalgamated with Unterlenningen 1939. Bridges has 1026 inhabitants ( 31 December 2012).
Gutenberg
From 1285 comes the first official mention of Gutenberg. In 1360 it received city rights. In the 15th century it was - as Oberlenningen - seat of a rod, which also Schopfloch belonged. The Thirty Years War depopulated the place so much that he lost the municipal law again. The status of the bar location could hold Gutenberg however. Gutenberg now has 676 inhabitants (as at 31 December 2012).
Hochwang
After the Second World War, the Lenninger valley was a place of refuge for displaced persons and refugees from the former eastern territories of Germany ( former Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Hungary). These were quartered in the short term as a transitional solution with local families. A settlement of displaced persons through housing projects in Lenninger valley was not possible without the landscape completely zuzubauen and also impossible for reasons of space. The industry of the valley came the influx of workers but not so inconvenient and therefore one made in 1951 in the house Scheufelen seriously considering the construction of a housing development for these people. Karl Bauer, the council chairman Scheufelen, then had the crucial idea: the community Oberlenningen should the community Erkenbrechtsweiler a piece of land, which is adjacent exactly to Oberlenningen, but is on the Swabian Alb buy, in order there to realize the plan of a housing development.
In order to have a good starting position for negotiations relating to the purchase of the land from Erkenbrechtsweiler, we initially planned to build a road from Oberlenningen after Hochwang. The plan worked and Dr. Klaus H. Scheufelen (Managing Director of the paper mill ) and Karl Bauer acquired the desired property. As then, was still overcome the final hurdle, the water supply for the new housing development could be started with the planning.
After judging of a competition for the development plan and the designs for the settlement houses could be started on farming. The implementation of the plans was transferred to a self- cooperative created, whose office was taken over by staff and administrative expenditure of the paper mill. The Heimatbau Cooperative Lenninger valley eGmbH consisted only of volunteers and the builders were thus not financially burdened.
For road route after Hochwang 250 height meters were overcome and removed 100,000 cubic meters of earth and rock of more than 100 emergency workers unemployed within two and a half years. In 1954 did the first vehicles on the new road to Hochwang. Residential construction began in September 1952, almost 2 months later, the first topping out ceremony was already celebrated and not quite a year later was able to move the first family. Until the merger of Heimatbau Cooperative Lenninger valley eGmbH with the county Cooperative Nürtingen in 1971 184 houses with 312 apartments, 62 garages and 3 commercial facilities have been built from the ground, for a total settlement amount of nearly DM 9.2 million ( 4.7 million € ). The high population Wang was at that time one-third of locals and two-thirds of expellees. A positive contribution to the good co- announced the formation of football, ski and music club and the early construction of a kindergarten, a school, the church and the town hall extension. Today 681 people live in Hochwang (as of 31 December 2012).
