Tuttlingen: World Capital of Surgical Instruments, Upper Danube Valley, and Baden-Wuerttemberg's Medical Technology Hub
Tuttlingen has a population around 34,800 and lies on the upper Danube in Baden-Wuerttemberg, about 80 kilometres south of Stuttgart. The town produces roughly half of the world's surgical instruments and is home to companies like Aesculap (B. Braun) and Karl Storz. This concentration of medical technology firms is unique globally and dates to the early 19th century.
The Danube valley setting is scenic, with the Honberg castle ruin overlooking the town. The Donaubergland hiking region begins here. A devastating fire destroyed most of the old town in 1803, so the architecture is largely 19th-century grid-plan. Singen and the Bodensee (Lake Constance) are accessible to the south. The Schwäbische Alb rises to the north. Adult companionship follows Baden-Wuerttemberg regulations.
