Leinfelden-Echterdingen has served as an agricultural settlement area on the Filder plateau in Baden-Württemberg since the Middle Ages. The present town was formed in 1975 from Leinfelden, Echterdingen, Musberg and Stetten auf den Fildern, whose distinct identities still shape its local centres. The plateau’s loess soils long supported market gardening; Filderkraut, a pointed cabbage associated with the region, remains a local culinary tradition. Stuttgart Airport and Messe Stuttgart place the town on an important transport and exhibition corridor, while farmland and woodland remain close by.
