Ammerbuch: Poltringen Airfield
Poltringen Airfield has served as a general-aviation field in Baden-Württemberg since the 20th century. It stands amid the open farmland of Ammerbuch, between Poltringen and the wooded heights of the Schönbuch. The River Ammer passes through Poltringen before joining the Neckar in Tübingen, placing the settlement within the wider Neckar valley. Fliegergruppe Ammerbuch, a local flying club, is based at the airfield; its hangars and grass operating area lie apart from the compact village. Ammerbuch was created in 1971 through the merger of six former municipalities, among them Poltringen. This is a working corner of the Gäu, where cultivated fields meet wooded slopes west of Tübingen.

Tucked along the Ammer at the southern edge of the Schönbuch, Ammerbuch is a municipality whose character is shaped by a gently rolling river valley and the wooded uplands beyond it. In Baden-Württemberg’s Tübingen district, it unites six former villages—Altingen, Breitenholz, Entringen, Pfäffingen, Poltringen and Reusten—whose individual centres still lend the community a local, rural rhythm. Ammerbuch was created during Baden-Württemberg’s municipal reforms in 1971, while the Ammer Valley Railway links several of its districts with Tübingen and Herrenberg.

Baden-Württemberg is best known within Germany for the Black Forest, the wooded upland region that shapes much of the state’s southwest. Its terrain also reaches from the Upper Rhine plain and its wine-growing areas to the limestone ridges of the Swabian Jura, while Lake Constance marks part of the southern frontier. Stuttgart, the state capital, is closely tied to the automobile industry and hosts the Mercedes-Benz Museum and Porsche Museum. Heidelberg’s old town and castle add another important strand to the region’s identity, alongside renowned universities, spas and regional cooking.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
