Pforzheim, Industrial center in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
The city stands at the meeting point of three rivers - Enz, Nagold, and Würm - at the northern edge of the Black Forest.
Originally established as a Roman settlement named Porta Hercyniae, Pforzheim received its official charter recognition in 1195 under medieval Germanic rule.
The Municipal Theatre of Pforzheim and the Jewelry Museum in Reuchlinhaus present regular performances and exhibitions highlighting regional artistic achievements.
The central train station connects directly to Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, while numerous bus lines provide transportation throughout the sixteen city districts.
