The center of the community of Schmie is characterized by many very beautiful and well-preserved half-timbered houses that have been restored according to historical models. Many of the half-timbered houses are especially located along Hauptstrasse and Lienzinger Strasse. The village church from the 12th century and the town hall are also located there.

The place was probably founded in the Carolingian era, the first documentary mention goes back to the year 788. Despite the designation of building land, the historic townscape of the street village has largely been able to retain its original character to this day.

Schmie's village center, with its numerous half-timbered houses: Schmie was first documented in 1308, when Rudolf von Roßwag donated property there to Maulbronn Monastery. The Lords of Enzberg, Wunnenstein, and the Counts of Württemberg also held lands in Schmie.
During the 14th century, Maulbronn Monastery acquired local lordship over Schmie. The village became part of Württemberg in 1504, then belonging to the monastery office and later to the Maulbronn district office.
