Tuttlingen

Tuttlingen is a district in Baden-Württemberg located between the Swabian Alps and the Danube River. The area comprises multiple municipalities spread across rolling countryside.

The district was formed in 1938 from the merger of two historic administrative areas and gained its present shape through further municipal changes in 1973. These developments shaped the area as it exists today.

The name Tuttlingen comes from Alemannic roots and refers to the surrounding land. Visitors can still see traces of this heritage in the old town's streets and buildings today.

The main administrative center is located in the city of Tuttlingen and is easy for visitors to reach. The best time to explore is during warmer months when weather is more reliable.

Mining and metalworking once played an important role in the region's economy. These industries faded after the 1800s but left visible traces in the landscape and buildings.
