Aichwald

The breeding Häusle in Aichschieß Aichwald has an impressive number of architectural and cultural monuments that bear witness to centuries of history. In addition to the scenic location, these monuments mainly contribute to the charm of the Schurwald community. Since Aichschieß was not along the main axes of transportation, its center is particularly well preserved (half-timbered houses around the church). In the forest below Schanbach are the remains of a small find medieval castle . Particularly outstanding are the four historical church buildings. There is a former pilgrimage church in Aichelberg, today located halfway through an open field above the village (murals from the mid-15th century, crucifix 17th century, baroque images of the former gallery). The Church in Krummhardt is one of the most charming village churches in the district of Esslingen (amenities rural baroque style). In Schanbach is a church with a late medieval choir tower. In Aichschieß is the village church St. Gereon and St. Margaretha (crucifix from the Ulm School in 1500, the interior murals dating from around 1330, which are among the oldest in the region, also other murals from the period around 1500. The stained glass windows of the three windows in the choir are from the glass artist Renate Gross from Gilching (Bavaria), the Taufdeckel by Karl Ulrich Nuss and other works of art). On the site of the former school building is located the so-called breeding homeowners, a tiny cell in which not only criminals were imprisoned, but also where unmarried mothers had to spend fourteen days on bread and water, after they had been exhorted from the pulpit (reprimanded).
