Landkreis Schwäbisch Hall

Landkreis Schwäbisch Hall extends across 1,484 square kilometers of terrain characterized by the Jagst and Kocher rivers flowing through the Hohenlohe plain.

The district originated in 1803 when the free imperial city of Schwäbisch Hall joined Württemberg, later merging with Crailsheim district during the 1973 administrative reform.

The district capital features the Gothic St Michael's Church with its grand staircase that transforms into an open-air theater during summer performances.

The region connects to major transportation networks through multiple highways and maintains strong economic sectors in manufacturing, including machinery and building materials.

Salt production from natural springs shaped the development of this district, leading to substantial wealth and influence during medieval trading periods.
