Christoph Herzog von Württemberg

Christoph Herzog von Württemberg is a history spot linked to Bad Urach and the House of Württemberg. He was born in Bad Urach in 1515.

As Duke of Württemberg, Christoph led the duchy through political and religious change during the Reformation. His father was Ulrich, and his mother was Sabina of Bavaria.

Christoph married Anna Maria of Brandenburg-Ansbach in 1544 and had children including Louis III and Duchess Sabine. His correspondence with Philipp Melanchthon connects this biography with Reformation-era religious discussion.

Christoph died in Stuttgart in 1568, ending a life rooted in Württemberg history. He was later buried at St George’s Collegiate Church in Stuttgart.

The spot is recorded as wheelchair accessible for visitors exploring Bad Urach’s historical places.
