History[]

Affalterbach became a possession of the County of Württemberg in 1322 and was placed under the jurisdiction of Marbach am Neckar. As it sat on the important road from Heilbronn to Ulm, the village was for a time abandoned. In 1938,  [de] was dissolved and replaced with  [de], to which Affalterbach was assigned. As part of the  [de], that district too was dissolved and replaced with the new district of Ludwigsburg.[2]
