Few towns in Baden-Württemberg have a history as closely tied to municipal consolidation as Ostfildern. Formed in 1975 from Nellingen, Ruit, Kemnat and Scharnhausen, it is a young municipality built around communities with much older identities. Ostfildern occupies the Filder plateau, southeast of Stuttgart, where the land drops toward the Neckar valley. Scharnhausen Palace recalls the area’s connection with the former Württemberg royal stud, while Nellingen’s historic centre preserves the character of an older settlement. Its position also links the town closely to the Stuttgart Region’s transport and economic network.
