HOHENHEIM, a village of Germany, in the Land of Wurttemberg, 7 m. E.S.E. of Stuttgart by rail. It came in 1768 from the counts of Hohenheim to the dukes of Wurttemberg, and in 1785 Duke Karl Eugen built a country house here. This house with grounds is now the seat of one of the most important agricul tural colleges in Germany, founded in 1817, raised to the position of a high school in 1865, and now a technical high school with university status.
