Town of Backnang

The former tanning town on the banks of the River Murr is surrounded by beautiful countryside and fruit orchards.

The favorable transport connections to Stuttgart, the trade fair and the airport, but also to the rural area make Backnang a unique city. With its 38,000 inhabitants, Backnang is a large district town and the fourth largest city in the Rems-Murr district. It forms the middle center for the surrounding communities and the entire Murr area.
 
Backnang is located on the edge of the Swabian-Franconian Forest National Park, offering a host of leisure activities and plenty of space for rest and relaxation. As a public leisure pool, the "Wonnemar" Backnang offers a combination of indoor pool, outdoor pool and sauna area.

Besides the annual Backnang Street Festival (Strassenfest) at the end of June - the oldest, largest and most attractive street festival in the whole state - Backnang can also hold its own in terms of culture. Thus, one can enjoy a break from everyday life in various museums, in the theatre or variety theatre, in one of the two cinemas or one of the town's many cultural events.
