At the foot of the Stromberg in the middle of a charming wine landscape lies the small community of Freudental with 2.400 inhabitants.
Extensive renovation and modernization measures in the 80s turned the old Freudental into a modern community with a new living and quality of life. Calming traffic in the town center through the implementation of the Freudental bypass was an important step.
The place was first mentioned in writing in 1304 as Froedental. In 1728, Paolo Retti, the architect of the Ludwigsburg residential palace, built a palace here for the Countess of Würben, which served as a summer residence for King Frederick I of Württemberg from 1810.
Other sights such as the former prison tower from 1590, the old wine press or the so-called Jewish castle bear witness to an interesting and eventful history. Even today, the historic main street is lined with gable-independent plastered buildings, e.g. T. with a half-hip roof, embossed.
