Firstly we will make a short stop at the Weil der Stadt wich often called the ‘Gate to the Black Forest.’ First mentioned in 1075, it was destroyed during the Thirty Years’ War, in 1648, and rebuilt. Weil der Stadt escaped destruction in WWII when a French artillery barrage was called off because it was Johannes Kepler’s birthplace. Kepler was a key figure in the 17th-century scientific revolution, best known for his laws of planetary motion. His work also provided one of the foundations of Isaac Newton’s theory of universal gravitation. We will stroll through the former Free Imperial City where the past is all around you: city walls, fortified towers, the mighty Catholic parish church of Sts. Peter and Paul, birthplace of both the astronomer Johannes Kepler and the Protestant reformer Johannes Brenz, the historic market square with the town hall, the atmospheric chapel of the former hospital. Wherever you go in Weil der Stadt, the past is all around you: you'll come across traces of Weil's famous sons, Steinhöwel, Brenz and Kepler, imposing buildings, fascinating museums and lots more.
