Most of the approximately 6.000 residents, but also many visitors, are of the opinion: You have to like Murr... - and they have good reasons for it.
The proximity to the urban center of Stuttgart (22 km), the favorable traffic conditions (2 km to the A 81 motorway), the high residential and leisure value and the number of around 2.000 local jobs make the community interesting and attractive. In the last two decades, around 30 hectares of residential building space and around 23 hectares of commercial space have been newly developed.
The lively cultural life in Murr, the various sports and leisure facilities (e.g. Wellarium outdoor mineral pool, tennis and sports facilities, Kulturprisma Murr, adult education center and numerous active clubs) and the local recreation areas of the Bottwartal and the Löwenstein Mountains on the doorstep are enjoyed by residents and visitors equally valued.
