Kernen im Remstal (German pronunciation: [ˈkɛʁnən ʔɪm ˈʁɛmstaːl], lit. 'Kernen in the Rems Valley') is a municipality in the Rems-Murr district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It was formed in January 1975 by the union of the towns of Stetten im Remstal and Rommelshausen. Its name was initially Stetten-Rommelshausen, but a community referendum resulted in its being changed to Kernen im Remstal, after a local hill.
Name
[edit | edit source]The name "Kernen im Remstal" was decided by the inhabitants of the municipality and refers to the Kernen, the highest point in the municipality. The previous name, used since the formation of the municipality, was "Stetten-Rommelshausen".[1]
History
[edit | edit source]Stetten im Remstal and Rommelshausen joined into a single municipality on 20 September 1975 as part of the 1968-75 Baden-Württemberg municipal reforms.[1]
Rommelshausen
[edit | edit source]Rommelshausen was connected to European railways in 1861 via the Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt–Aalen railway, and this connection has greatly enabled the town's growth. It began a period of urban sprawl after from 1945 and into the 1970s to the northwest and southeast. Further developments in the 1990s spread Rommelshausen even further to the south.[1]
Stetten
[edit | edit source]Stetten also enjoyed a period of growth after World War II and spread to the north and west.[1]

Coat of arms
[edit | edit source]The municipal coat of arms for Kernen shows six diamonds, the upper three blue and the lower three black, upon a field of yellow. The diamonds are holdovers from the coat of arms of the municipality of Stetten im Remstal, which was itself derived from the arms of the House of Teck, which had been used outright by Rommelshausen. This coat of arms, and an accompanying municipal flag, were awarded to Kernen by the Rems-Murr district office on 3 January 1977.[1]
