Balingen, District capital in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
The municipality spreads across 90 square kilometers at an elevation of 517 meters, comprising twelve districts including Frommern, Endingen, and Ostdorf.
The settlement received its first written mention in 863 and obtained city rights during the 13th century under Friedrich der Erlauchte's governance.
The Protestant church, completed in 1541, presents a particular sundial in the apse and stands as a central element in the marketplace.
Numerous mountain biking and hiking trails connect the town to Tieringen Albtrauf and Balingen-Weilstetten, providing outdoor recreation opportunities.
The town earned the name Waagenstadt due to its historical importance in scale manufacturing, initiated by Philipp Matthäus Hahn.
