The University environment

Esslingen lies just 20 km from Stuttgart, the capital city of Baden-Wuerttemberg. The city, with its 90,000 inhabitants, surrounded by vineyards, can look back over a 1,200-year history. Here, tradition and progress go hand-in-hand. Since  industrialisation, Esslingen has been an attractive centre of industry and commerce. Many international companies, like Daimler, Eberspächer and Festo are located here. The historical old town, with its many half-timbered houses, numerous cafés and restaurants and a varied cultural scene, is the ideal environment for your successful years at University.
