Albstadt combines a long textile-making tradition with the exposed uplands of the Swabian Alb, reflecting its position on this limestone plateau in Baden-Württemberg. Spread across several districts rather than centred on one compact core, the city follows valleys and ridges around the Schmiecha River. Ebingen and Tailfingen developed as textile towns, while the present municipality was formed in 1975 from several older communities. Wooded slopes, open grassland and marked routes place the surrounding Alb landscape close to everyday urban life.
