Tips from the Community
The Old Town Hall truly lives up to its name: with its dendrochronologically determined construction date of 1472, it is one of the oldest village town halls in all of Baden-Württemberg. The great age of the timber framing, which presumably disappeared under plaster around 1831, is currently only evident inside the building. The original structural elements discovered during the last renovation suggest that there was once a hall on the ground floor. As with many town halls, it was probably partially open to the outside. In any case, the existing exterior and interior walls on the ground floor all date from around or after 1831. A striking feature, and typical for town halls, is the external staircase, which took its current form in 1794. It led into a large hallway, from which there was access to the large council chamber. This chamber occupied the entire eastern half of the upper floor. Its walls were once made of wooden planks, which, together with the former plank ceiling, provided the council chamber with good thermal insulation. During the cold season, a tiled stove in the living room certainly created a pleasant temperature for meetings.

Mathias Schweikle's sculpture is called "The Bird's Nest," and it is decorated differently depending on the season, often with Easter eggs at Easter. Furthermore, due to its prominent position within sight of the motorway, it is certainly one of the most famous artworks at Skulptoura.

As we all know, many roads lead to Rome. This also applies to the center of Baden-Württemberg, which lies in Böblingen. The center of Baden-Württemberg is determined from the extreme values (northernmost, southernmost, easternmost, and westernmost land points). In Böblingen itself, the center lies in the middle of the forest, at a fairly inaccessible spot in the Hörnle area, which had to be cleared of undergrowth to make it accessible. The information column with the exact location, developed as a joint project with the district, can be found at the edge of the forest when driving along Tübingen Street towards Holzgerlingen, directly next to the bike path.
