Ebingen

Ebingen is a district of Albstadt located in the Swabian Jura at an elevation of around 730 meters (2,400 feet). The area serves as a university campus with technical and computer science programs and sits among forested hills and valleys.

The settlement received city rights around 1250 from the Hohenberg family, establishing it as an early urban center in the region. Over time it became part of Württemberg and developed as an agricultural hub for the surrounding mountain areas.

St. Martin's Church stands at the heart of the area and shows building styles from different time periods that reflect how the place developed over centuries. Visitors can explore the church and its surroundings on weekends to see the architectural details and feel the quiet character of this core location.

A local ski area operates during winter months with slopes for different skill levels and evening skiing options available. The region is surrounded by walking and cycling routes that remain accessible year-round and allow you to explore the surrounding Jura landscape.

The area was historically a center for watchmaking crafts, and this tradition remains visible in a few local workshops that still operate today. Walking through the streets, you can spot older buildings and structures that once housed these skilled trades from that era.
