Leonberg, Urban municipality in Böblingen district, Germany.

The municipality of Leonberg extends across hills and valleys at 386 meters elevation, situated 16 kilometers west of Stuttgart in Baden-Württemberg.

Count Ulrich I of Württemberg established Leonberg in 1248, incorporating defensive stone fortifications and a moat system around the settlement perimeter.

The traditional horse market, initiated in 1684, continues each February with a procession through the medieval streets of Leonberg.

The municipality provides multiple educational facilities, including grammar schools, secondary schools, and an Evangelical College for care worker training.

Leonberg maintains Germany's single remaining terraced Renaissance garden from 1609, restored in 1980 according to Heinrich Schickhardt's original designs.
