Kirchheim Castle

Highlight • Castle

After his return from exile, Duke Ulrich von Württemberg had seven state fortresses expanded in order to better protect his territory from the outside world. As part of these measures, the city fortifications of Kirchheim/Teck were expanded and the castle was built from 1538 as a corner bastion of the city wall. The simple functional building with two half-timbered floors over a solid base was completed in 1556 under Ulrich's son and successor, Duke Christoph. Initially, the modest castle was used by the sovereigns for defense and occasionally as a hunting lodge. When the plague raged in the residential city of Stuttgart in 1594, Duke Friedrich I moved the court here. With its decreasing importance as a state fortress, it was expanded into a residential palace.

The diamond-shaped, irregular four-wing complex is surrounded by a deep moat, which has now been drained. The city wall is attached to one side.

Finally in Kirchheim there is an Äffle and Pferdele traffic light on the Alleenring, near the city library.🚦 It's quite funny to use the characters known from previous advertising. In Stuttgart there is another Äffle and Pferdele traffic light at the main train station.

Postplatz Fountain

Highlight • Monument

Modernly designed large fountain on the central post square in Kirchheim. Lots of water-spewing cast figures. A popular meeting place for young people in summer.
