Welcome

As the Mayor I welcome you quite cordially to Ettlingen!

Ettlingen is a charming district town of about 38,000 inhabitants with a history of more than 1250 years. Nestled in the hills of the Northern Black Forest in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, Ettlingen offers the visitors an interesting blend of a picturesque Old Town with dreamy streets and alleys and a modern industrial estate area with many site advantages.

No matter if you drop in at the Town Hall and ask for advice concerning our leisure facilities, seek an attractive business location or just stroll through the historic streets of the city - Ettlingen is always worth visiting.

Come and join us in various cultural events taking place all over the year. Especially the open air theatre festival season during the summer is worth visiting. To begin with, you should take a look at our museum in the historic castle and at St. Martin's Church. If you enjoy sports, why not pay a visit to our lidos and indoor swimming pools? There is also a variety of events organized by our sports clubs.

Ettlingen is an ideal starting point to explore the Black Forest with its endless hiking trails. For accommodation we provide a wide range between first class hotels, guest houses and reasonably priced bed and breakfast lodging.

With this website those who are interested in Ettlingen are offered customer care round the clock by the municipal authority. Numerous official form sheets are available for download to be printed out and comfortably filled in at home.

If you need further information, please don't hesitate to contact us by email.

Now take your virtual tour and have fun!
