Rems-Murr

The Rems-Murr district extends across the Swabian-Franconian Forest, marked by two rivers, Rems and Murr, with Waiblingen as its administrative capital.

The district emerged on January 1, 1973, through the merger of Waiblingen with most of the Backnang district and several municipalities from Schwäbisch Gmünd.

The region maintains thirty-one municipalities, including notable cities like Backnang, Fellbach, and Schorndorf, each contributing distinct traditions and local celebrations.

The district provides comprehensive transportation networks, connecting its 432,397 residents to Stuttgart metropolitan area through efficient road and rail systems.

The district coat of arms displays a deer antler from Württemberg state, with blue waves representing the Rems and Murr rivers that define its geography.
