Oehringen: Former Hohenlohe Residence in the Hohenlohekreis
Oehringen is the largest town in the Hohenlohekreis of Baden-Wuerttemberg, with about 22,770 inhabitants. The Schloss Oehringen, a Renaissance palace, served as the residence of the Hohenlohe counts and later princes. The Hofgarten behind the palace is a landscaped park open to the public. A Roman limes fort once stood near the town, and remains of the frontier wall are visible in the surrounding countryside.
Heilbronn is roughly 30 kilometres to the southwest. Schwaebisch Hall lies to the east. Kuenzelsau, the district capital, is about 15 kilometres north. The Hohenlohe region is known for its agricultural produce, particularly Schwaebisch-Haellisches Landschwein pork and the open, rolling landscape of the Kocher and Jagst river valleys.
The Stiftskirche, originally Romanesque, contains notable late-medieval altarpieces. The town's Marktplatz hosts a weekly market that has operated continuously for centuries.
