Rems-Murr, Rural district in Stuttgart region, Germany
Description
Rems-Murr is a rural district in the Stuttgart region of Baden-Württemberg, taking its name from two rivers that cross its territory and governed from the town of Waiblingen. The area covers rolling hills and forest slopes between the Neckar valley and the Hohenlohe plain, with vineyards on south-facing slopes and open farmland in the valleys.
History
The district was formed on January 1, 1973, by merging the Waiblingen district with most of the Backnang district and several municipalities from Schwäbisch Gmünd district. This reorganization created a new administrative unit that linked formerly separate areas under shared governance in the Stuttgart region.
Culture
The region maintains thirty-one municipalities, including notable cities like Backnang, Fellbach, and Schorndorf, each contributing distinct traditions and local celebrations.
Practical
The district has a network of roads and several railway lines connecting towns with each other and with the city of Stuttgart, making most places accessible by car or regional train. Visitors can explore small towns and forested outer areas, with frequent connections to the metropolitan region throughout the day.
