History

The "Gültlingen Gold Helmet" (460-480 AD), was found together with other artifacts and is now in the Stuttgart State Museum.[2][3] Also, graves found in the area date the beginning of the aristocratic seat of the barons of von Gültlingen in the middle 12th century.[4]

Michaels Church

The church was built in 1465.[4] The pulpit of Michaels Church is hand-carved wood, featuring two birds-of-paradise (German: Paradiesvogel).[2] The church yard features two separate memorials for World War I (dedicated 1928) and World War II.
