Nürtingen

Nürtingen is an administrative town in the Esslingen district, situated along the Neckar River at around 291 meters elevation and bordered by municipalities such as Aichtal and Wendlingen. The settlement occupies a central position between the river valley and the foothills of the Swabian Jura.

In 1046, Heinrich III transferred Niuritingin to the chapter of Speyer, marking the early documented mention of this settlement. Nearly three centuries later, in 1335, the settlement received city rights and developed into a regional center.

The Maientag, initiated in 1602, continues as a traditional procession through Nürtingen, marking generations of local heritage and community celebrations.

The town lies 21 kilometers from Stuttgart and is accessible through direct transport connections. Visitors can use the vehicle registration prefix ES and the dialing code 07022 when looking for local addresses and contacts.

A devastating fire in 1750 destroyed 133 buildings and the subsequent reconstruction efforts decisively shaped the current urban structure. This catastrophe led to an almost complete redesign of large parts of the townscape, whose traces remain visible today.
