Sculptoura Ceramic Pots

Highlight • Monument

Coming from Schönaich, the three clay vases stand directly on the side of the road. Framed by the grass and meadow in the field, the clay vases become elements from the past.

At the Protestant church in Holzgerlingen there is a wooden bench created by "Shapoor Engineer". Behind the bench is the church, in front of the bench is a fountain that commemorates those who died in World War I.
Although the bench is near the road, it is still worth stopping and reflecting on the time.

Kalteneck Castle

Highlight • Castle

The old walls have seen worse times in their long history. However, the history of the castle is partly shrouded in mystery. What is certain is that there was a "Bürgle" in Holzgerlingen as early as the 11th century. What it looked like is not known. More details can be found out by looking at the year 1362. That was the year that the Gothic foundations on which the castle still stands were built. But even they only allow us to guess what the castle might have looked like back then. The loopholes and the Dürnitz in the basement suggest that it was a defensive structure. This could have been available to farmers as a place of refuge in times of need. The Dürnitz was probably inhabited by the lords or bailiffs of Holzgerlingen. There are also some question marks over the owners of the castle. It is documented that it was purchased by Countess Elisabeth von Henneberg in 1363 and 18 years later - like all of Holzgerlingen - became the property of the House of Württemberg. Later on, the castle changed hands frequently.

Birds in Holzgerlingen

Highlight • Monument

In Holzgerlingen you get not only one bird, but several ... to see. Everywhere in the city they bustle, whether on a company roof, in public places or along the bike path. The background to this is the “StadtArt” campaign, which was launched on the occasion of the 1,000th anniversary of Holzgerlingen in 2007. Since then, countless sculptures of owls and ravens, about two meters high, have inspired public space - by the way, these are the heraldic animals of the city. They were painted by hand by artists, designers, seniors, students, school classes and kindergartens, making every single sculpture unique. In addition to a large number of birds, the large wooden negative mold is also on display here on the bike path.
