The city of Freiberg am Neckar is located around 20 kilometers north of Stuttgart in a charming landscape of meadows, gardens and forests.
Freiberg was formed in 1972 through the voluntary merger of the communities of Beihingen, Geisingen and Heutingsheim and has had city rights since 1982.
The convenient location is advantageous. The Pleidelsheim and Ludwigsburg-Nord junctions of the Stuttgart – Heilbronn federal motorway are only four kilometers away. Freiberg am Neckar is also an S-Bahn station on the Marbach – Stuttgart route.
In Freiberg there are mostly medium-sized and small industrial companies in various sectors that provide around 4.000 jobs. The following are manufactured and sold: software products, coffee/roasting machines, metal products, water treatment systems, wool, bakery and electronic products as well as prefabricated construction parts. The city currently has a total of 100 hectares of industrial and commercial space.
Freiberg owes its thousand-year history to a number of historical buildings, to which the modern city center, which was built in 1972, forms an interesting contrast with administration, service and leisure facilities, schools and shops.
