Treaty of Münsingen

Residing in Urach, Count Eberhard V, later Duke Eberhard I of Württemberg, obtained rule and moved the capital to Stuttgart.

The succession was laid down for the ruling count in the Stuttgart part of the country, Eberhard VI.

With this treaty, that was worked out with collaboration of the council of Württembergian subjects, the indivisibility of Württemberg and the primogeniture became contractual.

The treaty prevented the division of Württemberg and thus was an important step to the exaltation to a duchy in 1495.

The original document is stored in the main public record office in Stuttgart.
