History
The Hotel Gerberhof was opened in 1993 on the site of the former Robitschek leather tanning works.
During the industrialisation age, Backnang first saw the rise of the textile industry. Thus, many tanners, weavers, spinners and knitting factories set up their businesses. After weaving experienced a period of major growth, the leather industry became the town's leading industry.
Today Backnang is an attractive business location with a dynamically developing transport connection.
However, it has retained its charm in a city center worth seeing with numerous half-timbered houses, which you can regularly explore during a historical city tour.
