Hohenheim itself has a rich history. It sits on the Filder. This is a fertile plateau in Baden-Wurttemberg. Hohenheim was founded in 1782. This was when Schloss Hohenheim was constructed.
Schloss Hohenheim’s construction was ordered by Charles Eugene of Baden-Wurttemberg. In 1768, the duke acquired the manor of the Bombast von Hohenheim family. He gifted it to his mistress Franziska Leutrum von Ertingen. This included the title of Reichsgräfin von Hohenheim.
From 1772, Karl Eugen rebuilt the manor house. It became a water castle with an extended English garden. The garden featured replicas of historic buildings. It also had an arboretum and exotic plants. Construction of the present-day palace began in 1782. It stopped when the duke died in 1793.
In 1818, King William I of Wurttemberg established an agricultural school in Hohenheim. This was the start of today’s university. Now, the gardens include the Landesarboretum Baden-Wurttemberg. There is also the Botanischer Garten der Universität Hohenheim.
Hohenheim was connected to the Mohringen-Hohenheim tracks by local railroads from 1888 to 1967. Today, Hohenheim is the final stop on the U3 line of the Stuttgart Stadtbahn. The track that connected Schloss Hohenheim is no longer in use. Buses and streetcars connect the town and university to the Schloss or Degerloch.
