Heilbronn – a city with much to offer

“Wherever you look: fertility abounds.“ Those were the words uttered by Goethe when he gazed down at the city from the Wartberg, a hill outside Heilbronn. And that is still true, today more than ever. Württemberg’s oldest wine producing town is a place where things are happening. You will find modern, top-notch educational institutions, with more being added all the time. World leaders from various industries cook up new products and ideas and offer interesting and safe jobs. And the landscape that triggered Goethe’s poetic words is there for everyone to enjoy, every day, in the surrounding vineyards or at the river Neckar, which runs right through the city center.

Made in Heilbronn

A place with a booming economy. Heilbronn is abuzz with productivity and a “schaffen“ attitude (the local term for “creating, being busy“). People from Heilbronn are usually quite modest – but we are proud that our region has the highest density of globally leading companies. That’s quite something. Not all of the approximately 100 world leaders are huge corporations; rather, the economic strength of the region Heilbronn-Franken lies in medium-sized, often less well-known companies. Hidden champions, if you like. And Heilbronn as regional capital is right at the heart of it.
