Nürtingen
Nürtingen (German pronunciation: [ˈnʏʁtɪŋən] ⓘ; Swabian: Nirdeng) is a town on the river Neckar in the district of Esslingen in the state of Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany.
The following events occurred, by year:
The Amt Nürtingen, an Oberamt (district) since 1758, was expanded in 1807, one year after the founding of the Kingdom of Württemberg, to include the Oberamt Neuffen as part of the new administrative structure of Württemberg. In 1859, Nürtingen was connected to the network of the Royal Württemberg State Railways via the Plochingen–Immendingen railway line. Thus, the Oberamt town of Nürtingen developed into an industrial town towards the end of the 19th century. Initially, the textile industry predominated, which later changed towards the metalworking industry. Nürtingen was long known as the "City of Grey Roofs" because cement was produced in Nürtingen from 1872 to 1975. Since 1900, the "Portlandzementwerke Heidelberg" owned the Nürtingen cement works. The “Tälesbahn”, which opened in June 1900 for passenger traffic between Nürtingen and Neuffen, was also used for freight traffic from June 21st to transport the limestone for cement from the “Hörnle” quarry to the factory.
During the Nazi era there were in today's urban area 17 forced labor camps and accommodations with "Eastern workers", prisoners of war and "foreign workers", who had to work in the local companies, such as Maschinenfabrik Gebrüder Heller. At the present location of the secondary schools was the Mühlwiesenlager with "Eastern workers". Eleven names of victims of the "euthanasia" murders are known; they were killed in Grafeneck or Hadamar. They also caused[clarification needed] that all in so-called "mixed marriages" living men were brought to concentration camps and murdered there.
A Sinti child born in Nürtingen, Anton Köhler, was with most of his siblings brought in 1944 from the Catholic orphanage St. Josephpflege in Mulfingen to Auschwitz-Birkenau and killed after his parents had been murdered.
Nürtingen is home to Nürtingen-Geislingen University of Applied Science, also known as the Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Umwelt Nürtingen-Geislingen. The school hosts undergraduate and graduate programs in business administration, finance, real estate, and landscape architecture. Programs are taught in English and German, with a Master of Science in International Finance being taught through its growing European School of Finance, which partners with the German Institute for Corporate Finance, the European Derivatives Institute, the Deutsche Börse, and the Eurex exchange.
Hardt (929 inhabitants, as of 2012) is the smallest district of Nürtingen. Hardt was first mentioned in 1366 in documents.
Neckarhausen (3,768 inhabitants, as of 2012) is about 2 km from Nürtingen. Neckarhausen was first mentioned in the year 1284. The site is largely dominated by the church and the town hall.
