The history shows Kleinhohenheim with agricultural use since 1772 (establishment by Duke Carl Eugen von Württemberg). From 1817 it was considered a royal Württemberg domain for the exemplary keeping of foals and cattle (Appenzell cattle). The remains of the foundations of today's sheepfold building, which was built as a Swiss house at that time, also date back to this period. In 1864 the domain was converted into a leased estate, which was then leased in 1922 for the then Hohenheim Agricultural College. In 1976, the domain in its current extent became the property of the state of Baden-Württemberg, which assigned the area to the Experimental Station I of the University of Hohenheim for cultivation. Since 1994, the area has been managed according to ecological guidelines.
