Besigheim, Resort town in Ludwigsburg, Germany.

The municipality sits at the meeting point of the Neckar and Enz rivers, surrounded by steep hillsides covered with vineyards.

First documented in 1153 under King Friedrich I, the settlement developed into a fortified town with defensive towers during the Staufer period.

The Gothic Town Church from 1383 contains a 13-meter wooden altar created by Christoph von Urach in 1520.

Visitors can reach the town in 15 minutes by train from Ludwigsburg, with parking areas available near the town borders.

The Waldhornturm tower, constructed around 1220, rises 29 meters high with substantial walls as part of the former Lower Castle.
