Vaihingen

Located on the western border of the Ludwigsburg district and on the edge of the Stuttgart region, Vaihingen an der Enz with its 28.058 inhabitants is a rapidly growing medium-sized center. The city received a strong stimulus for growth in 1990 with the opening of the new train station on the DB express railway line Stuttgart-Mannheim. The central location and good transport connections are the community's greatest advantages. Therefore, large residential and commercial areas were designated.

The large district town today offers around 7.500 jobs in medium-sized commercial and craft businesses as well as in agriculture. But this is just one of the reasons that makes Vaihingen an der Enz an attractive location that is valued by its residents. Particularly noteworthy are the excellent infrastructure, the lively club life, the numerous leisure facilities and the diverse cultural offerings. An ideal place to live, work and live.

Vaihingen is a city with nine districts that stretches over 17 km in a north-south direction. The surrounding area invites you to take long walks that offer rest and relaxation. The approximately 250 hectares of vineyards are a striking landscape element. The city was honored by the International Wine Office in Paris in 1987 for its efforts in viticulture: Vaihingen was awarded the title of City of Vines and Wine.

The place was mentioned for the first time in 779 and the sources mention Vehingen Castle in 1096. Vaihingen an der Enz is mentioned as a town in 1339. Kaltenstein Castle, which is connected to the city by two walls, was rebuilt in 1570 and reinforced with fortifications in the 18th century. Today it houses a CVJM youth village. Remains of the wall, the slender Haspelturm and the thick powder tower on the Enz still remain from the former city fortifications.
