Großheppach ("big Heppach") is a town district or Stadtteil within the town of Weinstadt ("Wine City") in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The Stadtteil, which lies in the Rems Valley, is home to 4,398 residents (as of January 2012).[1] Großheppach and Kleinheppach are located along the Heppach, a small stream that flows into the river Rems. The village of Großheppach, the Weiler Gundelsbach, and the homestead Wolfshof belong to the Stadtteil, which has borders that exactly match those of the earlier municipality of Großheppach. Its neighbor Kleinheppach ("small Heppach"), on the other hand, is now part of the municipality of Korb.
History
Großheppach was first identified as Hegnesbach in 1236.
[2] Around 1350, the castle and village became a palatine fief under various feudal lords.[3] Since 1456, parts of the village have been under Württemberg control; and since 1506, the entire village has belonged to Württemberg.[4] Immediately upon becoming part of Württemberg, Großheppach belonged to the Württemberg administrative authority. Later, it became part of Oberamt Schorndorf (an administrative district within Württemberg).[5] In 1807, it moved—like Endersbach—to Oberamt Waiblingen (a different administrative district within Württemberg).
Großheppach has always been shaped by wine production. In addition to the government of Württemberg, the cloister Weiler near Esslingen had tithing rights, and the Kartäuser cloister Christgarten (near Ederheim in the Donau Ries district) possessed a vineyard until the late 18th century and had a local economic branch (Pflegehof) in town.[6]
