Schorndorf: Daimler's Birthplace, Swabian Half-Timber, and the Rems Valley's Best-Preserved Altstadt
Schorndorf has a population around 39,700 and lies in the Rems valley in Baden-Wuerttemberg, about 25 kilometres east of Stuttgart. Gottlieb Daimler, co-inventor of the petrol-powered automobile, was born here in 1834. His birthplace on the Hoellgasse is preserved and marked. The Altstadt is one of the most complete Fachwerk (half-timbered) ensembles in Swabia, with the Marktplatz, Palmsche Apotheke, and the Burgschloss forming the core.
The Barbara Kuenstler Halle hosts art exhibitions. The Manufakturmuseum documents Schorndorf's textile and industrial heritage. The Rems river provides a green corridor. The town's Schwaebischer Wald (Swabian Forest) hinterland to the east offers hiking. Stuttgart is reachable by S-Bahn in about 30 minutes. The annual Schorndorfer Woche festival draws visitors in summer. Adult companionship follows Baden-Wuerttemberg's regulatory standards.
