Description

A village lime tree was planted to mark the redesign of the village street

The village street was made traffic-calmed in 1993 and a small area with a newly planted village lime tree was created on the former site of the school and town hall, which was demolished in 1975. Right next to it, one of the oldest farmhouses was not only preserved in 2020, but also renovated in line with current residential standards in accordance with the preservation order. In the property developer´s sales exposé, the former 9th fiefdom was described as a "staircase house" and quickly found buyers.

As long as the old school and town hall were still standing, the running village fountain on this side of the Echaz was a popular meeting place for people and livestock. The three village wells can be considered a public water supply until the construction of a water pipe in 1923. In those years, around 500 cattle and horses still had to be supplied with drinking water in Wannweil alone. The Reutlingen tanners and dyers made the Echaz water undrinkable.
