Schwäbisch Hall, Medieval town center in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Schwäbisch Hall extends along the Kocher River valley at 301 meters elevation, featuring steep stairs leading to Saint Michael's Church in the old quarter.
The settlement gained prominence in the Middle Ages through salt production and coin minting, leading to the creation of the Heller currency in the 13th century.
The stone steps of Saint Michael's Church transform into an outdoor theater during summer, hosting performances against the Gothic church background.
The city connects major German economic centers, positioned between Frankfurt, Stuttgart, and Nuremberg, with regular regional train services to these destinations.
Salt springs beneath the city powered its medieval economy, with water-wheel-driven pumping systems extracting brine for salt production until the 20th century.
