Kornwestheim, Administrative district town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Kornwestheim is a railway town located north of Stuttgart in the Ludwigsburg district, primarily defined by its transportation infrastructure. The classification yard at its western edge serves as the core of its economic and infrastructural importance.
The settlement first appeared in records around 780 and adopted its current name in the late 1400s. Its rise as a railway hub came much later with 19th-century railroad development.
The town's identity is shaped by its role as a key railway junction that influences daily life and local culture. The station and freight operations have become embedded in how residents and visitors perceive the place.
The town is easily accessible by public transport, as it sits on several rail lines and integrates well with Stuttgart's transit network. Visitors should note that this is primarily a transit hub rather than a typical tourist destination.
The town is home to Baden-Württemberg's only drive-in cinema, featuring two projection screens where visitors can watch films from their cars. This unusual venue draws cinema-goers from across the region seeking this particular type of experience.
