People appreciated the fertile soil near Pleidelsheim and the proximity of the Neckar very early on: in 1994 the community was able to celebrate its 1200th anniversary. There are still some agricultural businesses here, although their number has declined in recent years. The cultivation of tobacco and asparagus in particular played a major role for a long time due to the very favorable climatic location in Pleidelsheim.
Today, over 2000 employees work in the numerous medium-sized companies in the town itself. Further employment opportunities exist in the highly industrialized and easily accessible centers of Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg, Bietigheim-Bissingen and Heilbronn.
Its good infrastructure makes Pleidelsheim a sought-after place to live. The village center was gradually modernized. The old town hall was also renovated and now connects the newly created town center with the historically unique main street.
The community sees improving the offerings for children as an important task. The exemplary equipment of the kindergartens, the creation or modernization of numerous playgrounds, a program to support large families and much more are intended to ensure that families in Pleidelsheim feel completely at home.
