    From this hill you have a beautiful view to the south from Engelberg to the north to the Stromberg mountain range.

      At 351 m, the Katharinenlinde is the highest point in Schwieberdingen. The linden tree was planted around 1820 to commemorate Queen Katharina von Württemberg, who died in 1819.

      A richly decorated women's grave was found here during excavations in 1935. It is probably already one of the so-called flat graves from the turn of the 5th to 4th century BC. BC, there was no evidence of a tumulus.
      A poorly preserved female skeleton was discovered in the grave pit. On the chest and up to the pelvis there were three bronze and two iron fibulae in the shape of masks and animals with pink coral inlays, which had the function of brooches and held the robes together. You can view them in the online museum: landesmuseum-stuttgart.de/sammlung/sammlung-online/dk-details/?dk_object_id=763
