Wimsheim is a municipality in the

Enz district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany

History

Wimsheim became a possession of Maulbronn Monastery in 1232. When the monastery was annexed by the Duchy of Württemberg, Wimsheim naturally became a possession of the Duke of Württemberg. The town continued to be governed from Maulbronn via an administrative district, made an Oberamt [de] on 18 March 1806, until the district's dissolution on 1 October 1938. As part of that reorganization, Wimsheim was assigned to Landkreis Leonberg [de]. On 1 January 1973, this district too was dissolved by the 1973 Baden-Württemberg district reform [de], and Wimsheim was again reassigned, this time to the newly created Enz district.[2]

In 1941, 16 hectares (40 acres) of land along Bundesautobahn 5 was made a protected landscape.[2]
