All important infrastructure facilities are available in the city of Uhingen. The preferred location between Schurwald and the Swabian Alb as well as attractive cultural and sports offerings from numerous local clubs and institutions guarantee a high level of leisure value.
The cultural center is the Uditorium, where a variety of cultural events take place: concerts, theater performances, exhibitions and cabaret enrich the cultural, economic and social scene of the region.
In addition, the Uditorium is a suitable setting for conferences, meetings, seminars, receptions or anniversaries. And the rooms are also ideal for private celebrations and parties: well-equipped with comfortable furniture and modern conference and building technology, it will fully meet your expectations.
Uhingen was first mentioned in a document in 1275. With the 500-year-old town hall, it has the oldest town hall in the district, an impressive half-timbered building with an interesting roof turret and tower clock. Together with the Cäcilienkirche, a late Gothic defensive tower church from the 16th century, it is one of the oldest buildings in Uhingen.
Very close to Uhingen is Filseck Castle, which was built around 1230 and over time, under frequently changing owners, has developed into a striking Renaissance building with an atmospheric inner courtyard and a round stair tower. In addition to high-quality cuisine, it offers ideal conditions for seminars, meetings and courses.
The wonderful mixed forests of the Schurwald surrounding Uhingen are ideal for hikes and from vantage points such as on the Diegelsberg you can let your gaze wander far over the Swabian Alb, from Hohenstaufen to Hohenzollern. Glassmakers, charcoal burners and sand farmers once had their headquarters in the wooded Nassach Valley and you can still watch a charcoal burner at work here today. On the southern hill of the Alb foreland, near the Sparwiesen district, lies the Charlottensee, a protected, idyllic small pond with a diverse range of flora and fauna.
