Old town on the meander loop: discovering urban history

On a walk through Nürtingen, narrow lanes, historic squares, and half-timbered houses become tangible stops along the town’s history. The parish church of St. Laurentius and remnants of the town fortifications complement the historic townscape. The first documentary mention in 1046 and the granting of town rights around 1335 place this history in time.
