 Since 2006 Sigrid Hornauer, the first female mayor, is in office.Typical for the pragmatic "Sternenfels way", a touch of suebian avarity, pietist pragmatism and strong sense of community is the setup of the municipal hall close to Freibad, Kraich fountain, Kindergarten and cemetery.The highly modern and prized architecture of the multipurpose hall is used for sports, local events and—via a separate entry to the cemetery—to convene for burial services.
