Ehringen: edno: RWY 04
Ehringen has served as a rural settlement in Bavaria since the Middle Ages. It lies within the Nördlinger Ries, a roughly 24-kilometre-wide impact crater formed about 14.6 million years ago. Fields spread across the crater floor, while low wooded slopes trace its outer edge. The locality belongs to the agricultural surroundings of Nördlingen, the historic town at the Ries’s centre. Nördlingen is known for its largely preserved medieval town walls and St George’s Church, whose tower is called Daniel. The crater also gave the area a distinctive building material: suevite, an impact rock created by the meteor strike, appears in local architecture. Ehringen reflects the quieter, farming character of this remarkable Bavarian geological landscape.

Among the settlements of Bavaria, Ehringen stands out for its position within the Nördlinger Ries, a broad circular basin formed by a meteorite impact around 14.5 million years ago. Fields spread across the crater floor, with the basin’s low rim shaping the wider horizon. In nearby Nördlingen, local suevite—an impact breccia—was used in historic buildings, while the old town retains a complete circuit of medieval walls. The Daniel tower of St George’s Church rises above its historic centre. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Ehringen and the Nördlinger Ries relate to their surroundings.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

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.
