- The city was formed in 1975 through the merger of two distinct municipalities, Korntal and Münchingen, which maintained vastly different religious and historical backgrounds.
- Korntal was founded in 1819 as a religious 'Brotherhood' settlement, resulting in a unique town structure centered around the church and school rather than traditional feudal layouts.
- The city is home to a significant number of specialized educational institutions rooted in its historical pietist tradition, which continues to influence local community life today.
- Despite being a distinct municipality, it is geographically integrated into the Stuttgart Region's economic sprawl, hosting several major industrial and logistics firms.
