Walheim - where community is at home

Walheim is located where the Enz flows into the Neckar - embedded in vineyards, characterized by nature, history and a strong sense of community. The special location between rivers, vineyards and a natural landscape makes the municipality a popular place to live, relax and enjoy.

History that can still be experienced today

The Roman House in Walheim is one of the most important Roman archaeological museums in the region. The Roman past is still visible here today and is combined with a modern, lively community life. History is not just part of the past in Walheim - it still shapes the town today.

Community and family friendliness

Walheim stands for strong community spirit. Four daycare facilities, the local elementary school and a wide range of activities for children and young people create a family-friendly environment with short distances. Clubs, voluntary work, the volunteer fire department, committed tradespeople and numerous community activities characterize local life and contribute to the special cohesion of the community.

Nature, wine and quality of life

The award-winning "Most Beautiful Wine View in Württemberg", walking and cycling paths along the Neckar and Enz rivers and family-friendly offers such as the hiking trail around the crocodile in Walheim Forest invite you to actively experience nature. At the same time, viticulture, regional gastronomy and the natural location ensure a high quality of life and a wide range of leisure activities.

Walheim combines history, nature and community in a special way - and brings this to life every day.

Affalterbach - where business and quality of life form a unity

In just a few decades, Affalterbach has developed into an important business location - with over 4,000 jobs and a special mix of industries. World-famous companies and independent SMEs, crafts and trade complement each other here to form a lively economic community that is united in the local trade and commerce association.

What makes it special: The village character has been preserved. The local history museum preserves the history of the village, while the industrial estate works on the technologies of tomorrow. Old and new do not exist in opposition to each other - they enrich each other.

Living with real standards

Affalterbach's economic strength benefits everyone. The municipality offers its residents an above-average range of services: from an elementary school with its own swimming pool to well-kept green spaces and modern playgrounds and sports fields. In the town center you will find everything you need for your daily needs - a bakery, butcher and pharmacy are all within walking distance, making the center a real meeting place.

Newcomers to Affalterbach will quickly make friends: Over 30 clubs and organizations provide a wide range of leisure activities and invite you to get involved and become part of the community.

Nature on the doorstep

Affalterbach is in a quiet location - and yet not remote. There are good connections to Stuttgart and the residential areas are in a quiet location. Local recreation is not just an empty phrase here: a walk through the forest and vineyards on the Lemberg or a hike in the Buchenbachtal nature reserve starts virtually on the doorstep.

Mayor Steffen Döttinger sums it up: "Affalterbach offers everything you need for a good work-life balance."
