Schwäbisch Hall

Schwäbisch Hall straddles the Kocher River in northeastern Baden-Württemberg, and centuries of salt production shaped the prosperous medieval town on its banks. The name Hall recalls this connection to salt, which supported the settlement until the 19th century. Timber-framed houses and merchant buildings rise around the Markt, while the broad staircase of the Gothic Church of St Michael forms one of the town’s defining civic spaces and hosts open-air theatre in summer. The Kunsthalle Würth adds a major contemporary-art presence beside this historic core.
