History
The town of Levinberch was founded by Count Ulrich 1st of Württemberg in 1248 where Leonberg still stands today. The position on the brow of the hill was chosen as a defence from enemies to the west, the towns of Markgröningen, Weil der Stadt and the counts in Tübingen and Calw. At the time, the town was surrounded by stone fortifications with the count's castle in the south west. A moat stood to the east, leading to two gates complete with towers and swing-bridge. The gates and almost all of the walls were demolished in and after 1814/1815 leaving only the coat of arms, still on display in the Altes Rathaus (old town hall)). The moat was filled in 1786[1]. The only surviving building from the old town fortifications was the "Stonehouse" near the uppermost tower, probably because it was the only one used for housing and was not destroyed by the great fire of 1498. Today it has become the Schwarzer Adler guesthouse and is a defining feature of the old town. According to an analysis carried out in 1999 [2], the wooden-timber gabled roof on top of the Schwarzer Adler was build in the 15th century. Three stories high, it is one of the largest and oldest original timber gable roofs in southern Germany. A great fire swept through the town in 1498, destroying 46 houses and making around 200 people homeless. Most of the homeless left the town. During the Holy Roman Empire, Leonberg fell under the jurisdiction of Esslingen before finally becoming part of Württemberg in 1383 when it first gained administrative rights. The population of Leonberg was halved during the Thirty Years' War as a result of the bubonic plague. On 16 November 1457, the first Württemberg parliament (Württemberg-Urach) convened in Leonberg to administer the custodianship of the underage Eberhardt V. Although there is no documentary evidence to confirm the fact, many locals claim this parliament met in the "Stonehouse" . During the era of witch hunts, the Leonberg governor Lutherus Einhorn sent 15 women to trial under suspicion of witchcraft. Eight women were condemned to death with the full assent of the Leonberg judiciary and the local community. One of the most famous Württemberg witch trials in Leonberg took place in 1615 and involved Katharina Kepler, mother of the royal astronomer Johannes Kepler. Kepler's mother was nearly tortured to death in the cellars of the "Stonehouse" before being transferred to Güglingen where she was subsequently released in October 1620. In 1846 the Leonberger dog breed was first successfully reared by crossing the St. Bernard with the Newfoundland and the Great Pyrenees. After the rise of the Nazis in 1933, a number of bloody street battles were fought between stormtrooper (Sturmabteilung) followers, mostly backed by residents from Leonberg who attacked supporters of the German communist party, mainly resident in Eltingen. In 1938, Eltingen - a staunchly proletarian community of small landowners - was finally merged with the more bourgeois Leonberg. Later the same year the Engelberg tunnel - Germany's first motorway tunnel - was completed. During the Second World War the Engelberg tunnel was used regularly for producing and storing aeroplane parts made by concentration camp prisoners held in Leonberg concentration camp, an outlying camp belonging to Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp in Alsace.[3] The old tunnel was replaced by a new tunnel in the 1990s. Above the tunnel there now stands a memorial to the people who died in Leonberg concentration camp. By 1961 the population of Leonberg passed the 20,000 mark. Boundary reforms in 1973 resulted in rural districts of Leonberg being merged with the rural districts of Böblingen in the south and Enzkreis/Ludwigsburg in the north. Leonberg has existed in its current form since 1975. In 2004 Leonberg became one of the first communities in Germany to switch its office systems to Linux and start using freeware[4].

Leonberg horse market
Leonberg's famous horse market takes place every year in February. The traditional fair is staged in the old town centring on the old market square.

To mark the occasion, a ceremonial procession marches through the old town on the second Tuesday of the month. The horse market attracts huge crowds and is so important to local tradition that civil servants are granted half a day's leave to attend. Schools in Leonberg are closed for the whole day. In modern times the scope of the fair has been expanded to include sports, seminars on horseriding and breeding, an amusement fair and a flea market.

Religion
Leonberg used to fall into the bishopric of Speyer and was part of an area governed by archdeacon St. Trinitatis. As an early member of Württemberg, in 1535 Duke Ulrich introduced the Reformation. For many centuries, Leonberg was predominantly protestant. In 1552 the deanery was moved to Leonberg with the Stadtkirche becoming the dekanatskirche. After the Second World War the religious community in Leonberg grew quickly as people moved into the area. The Protestant community in the district of Eltingen also dates back to the Reformation, as it does in Gebersheim, Höfingen and Warmbronn. Catholicism first arrived in Leonberg in the late 19th century with the first parish set up in 1946 shortly followed by St. Johannes Baptista church in 1950. Today the catholic community belongs to the deanery of Böblingen within the bishopric of Rottenburg-Stuttgart. Apart from the two main German religions, there are 'free churches' such as the United Methodist Church (Pauluskirche), the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Immanuel Community of Leonberg. There is also a New Apostolic Church in Leonberg.
The Pomeranzen garden
Leonberg's Pomeranzengarten is Germany's only remaining terraced garden dating back to the height of the Renaissance. It was planted in 1609 next to the palace ("Schloss") as a widow's retreat for members of the Württemberg duchy. In 1742 it was converted to a fruit and vegetable garden until it was restored in 1980 using original plans drafted by Heinrich Schickhardt.
Theatre
The theatre in the Spitalhof stages musicals, plays, amateur theatre, concerts and children's events with regular visits from touring theatres also performing in the town auditorium (Stadthalle).
Town mayors
A head of local administration - an executive official called the Schultheiss - was first appointed in Leonberg in 1304. In 1425 this was replaced by a Vogt, a type of reeve. By 1535 responsibility was shared by a senior and junior governor both of whom were selected by a local judge. After the 15th century there were two burgomasters who were replaced by a type of senior district magistrate ('Oberamtmann') in 1759. There has been a town council in Leonberg since 1312. In 1523 it had eight members. In 1930 the interim designation of 'town mayor' was replaced by the now common burgomaster whose status was raised to Oberbürgermeister (senior mayor) in 1963. He or she is elected for eight years through a direct vote and chairs the borough council.
