Plochingen, Urban municipality in Esslingen district, Germany
Located where the Neckar River meets the Fils River, Plochingen stands at the foot of the Schurwald forest and Swabian Alb mountains.
First documented in 1146 as Blochingen under King Conrad III, the settlement developed into a center for textile manufacturing during the nineteenth century.
The residential complex designed by artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser features a rain tower courtyard and stands as a modern architectural landmark in the town center.
The town functions as a transportation hub with direct railway connections to Stuttgart, while its river port marks the endpoint of Neckar River navigation.
The administrative building includes perimeter balconies made of precast concrete slabs and incorporates green roofs with photovoltaic systems for energy efficiency.
