... the "Plieninger Aussicht" in the lower castle park of "Schloß Hohenheim" - S-Hohenheim lies "between" Stuttgart-Plieningen and Stuttgart Birkach, Baden-Württemberg. - it is today part of the University of Hohenheim - great view of Plieningen and the Albtrauf - the former (1901) "pond with Plieninger Aussicht" became overgrown over the years and the pond silted up, i.e. became muddy - through the initiative of members of the university and with financial support from the Farny Foundation, this beautiful spot was restored and inaugurated in 2018 for the university's 200th anniversary
