History
Königsbach-Stein is a town located in the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is situated in the Enz district, which is part of the larger Karlsruhe administrative region. The town is actually a fusion of two smaller municipalities, Königsbach and Stein, which merged in 1972.
Königsbach: Königsbach's history dates back to at least the 13th century. It was originally a small farming settlement and was part of the Margraviate of Baden. Over the years, it developed into a more substantial village.
Stein: The history of Stein also extends back several centuries. Like Königsbach, it started as a rural community. It was situated along a trade route and benefited from its strategic location.
Merger (1972): In 1972, as part of administrative reforms in Germany, Königsbach and Stein were combined to form the town of Königsbach-Stein. This merger was part of a broader effort to streamline local government structures and improve administrative efficiency.
