Korntal is a town near Stuttgart in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, founded in 1819 by Pietists under Gottlieb Wilhelm Hoffmann with special privileges from King William I. Its independent Brethren congregation, outside the official Lutheran church, made it a model Pietist community that inspired similar settlements such as Wilhelmsdorf. It is now part of the town of Korntal-Münchingen.
