Blaustein

Blaustein is a municipality in Baden-Württemberg that stretches along the Blau River and encompasses several districts. The landscape shows a mix of developed areas and green spaces, crossed by the waterway that gives the region its name.

The municipality came into being in 1968 through the merger of two towns, and was later expanded by joining additional communities. This process shaped the current structure with several centers that each kept their own roots.

The town hall stands at the center of local life, showing how the community has organized its public spaces. Residents gather here and around the main streets, using these areas as the natural meeting point for their daily routines.

The municipality lies west of Ulm and is easily accessible by public transport and private vehicles. Visitors will find parking and walking paths scattered throughout the different districts to explore the area.

The area contains evidence of prehistoric settlements that form part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site dedicated to ancient pile dwellings. These archaeological finds show traces of human settlement from the Neolithic period, making the region important for understanding early European communities.
