Trossingen

Trossingen is a town in Baden-Württemberg situated in a hilly area between the Swabian Alb and Black Forest regions. The center features well-maintained residential areas, shops, and several museum and cultural buildings that preserve its heritage.

The town's history begins in 1830 when Christian Messner started harmonica production, after which several manufacturers settled in the area. This industrial development permanently shaped the community and made it a center for this craft in Europe.

The town is known worldwide for its harmonica production, a craft still visible in workshops throughout the area. Visitors can experience how this tradition shapes daily life and local identity in the community.

The train station provides regular connections to larger cities in the region, making arrival straightforward. The town itself is walkable, with main museums and attractions located close to each other.

Complete Plateosaurus dinosaur skeletons were discovered in a local quarry and are now displayed at the Auberlehaus museum. These paleontological finds reveal the prehistoric past of the region from millions of years ago.
