Möhringen

Möhringen is a district sprawling across the Filder plain south of Stuttgart's central valley, with the Körsch river flowing through its southern section.

The area received its first documented mentions between 1100 and 1300, indicating early Alemannic settlements governed by the Counts of Calw. Agricultural life dominated for centuries before industrialization transformed the landscape.

The district grew around traditional crafts, with some trades like brickmaking shaping the area for generations. Visitors can see traces of this heritage woven throughout the buildings and street layouts today.

The district sits south of downtown and connects easily by public transportation. Walking around is straightforward, especially in areas near shopping centers and public gathering spaces.

The Probst Lake in the western section originated as a clay pit for the local brickworks. Now it stands as a place where industrial history blends into the natural surroundings.
