Esslingen am Neckar, Medieval township in Stuttgart Region, Germany

The city extends along both sides of the Neckar River, featuring over 200 preserved half-timbered buildings from different construction periods across its center.

Esslingen received city rights in 1229 under Emperor Frederick II and maintained its status as a Free Imperial City until 1802 when it joined Württemberg.

The Hafenmarkt square contains the oldest continuous row of half-timbered houses in Germany, dating from the 13th to 16th centuries.

Stuttgart Airport stands 14 kilometers away, while the central railway station connects directly to Stuttgart through regular S-Bahn services.

The local university specializes in mechanical and automotive engineering programs, drawing international students for technical education in the Baden-Württemberg region.
