Grünwettersbach

Together with Palmbach (located further southeast), Grünwettersbach forms the administrative unit Wettersbach.

[1] The former patrons included the Counts of Vaihingen, whose coat of arms led the town until it was incorporated.

Count Konrad V. von Vaihingen and his brother Johann sold the Teutonic Order Master Wolfram von Nellenburg "alle Güter zu ... Grünwettersbach samt dem Patronatsrecht und dem Zehnten" ("all goods to ... Grünwettersbach including the right of patronage and the tithe").

Their heirs protested and one of them, Bernhard III, obtained an imperial mandate against the seizure and ensured that the parish was once again occupied by Catholics.

In 1701, Eberhard Louis, Duke of Württemberg settled 28 Waldensian families in the Grünwettersbach area.

In 1806 the place came to the Grand Duchy of Baden via the Tausch- und Epurationsvertrag (exchange and epuration agreement).

The place is known for the 144 meter high Fernmeldeturm Grünwettersbach, which is visible in large parts of the region.
