Schwaebisch Hall: Salt Town on the Kocher, Freilichtspiele Theatre, and the Half-Timbered Jewel of Hohenlohe
Schwaebisch Hall has a population around 36,500 and lies on the Kocher river in Baden-Wuerttemberg, in the Hohenlohe region about 60 kilometres northeast of Stuttgart. Salt production from brine springs drove the town's medieval prosperity; the Haeller Pfennig was a widely circulated coin. The dramatic setting on steep slopes above the river gives the Altstadt a theatrical quality.
The Freilichtspiele Schwaebisch Hall stages open-air theatre on the grand staircase of the Grosscomburg monastery and the steps of St. Michael's church each summer. The Kunsthalle Wuerth, housed in a converted historic building, shows the Wuerth collection of modern and contemporary art. The half-timbered houses along the Kocher riverbank are among the most photographed in Baden-Wuerttemberg. The Henkersbruecke, a covered bridge, spans the river. Adult companionship follows Baden-Wuerttemberg's legal standards.
