Leinfelden-Echterdingen Map Poster & Print

Leinfelden-Echterdingen sits on the Filder plateau just south of Stuttgart, and from above it does not look like one town. It looks like several. The town was formed in 1975 when Leinfelden, Echterdingen, Musberg and Stetten merged, and each of these villages still has its own compact core. Farmland and newer housing now fill much of the space between them, but the map still shows where each separate settlement began.

The large infrastructure around the town gives the map its structure. Stuttgart Airport sits on the plateau at its eastern edge, and its long runway is the straightest line anywhere on the sheet. The trade fair grounds lie close by. The A8 motorway crosses the southern side, and main roads and rail lines run north towards Stuttgart. Together these routes divide the Filder into large clear sections.

To the west the land drops into forested valleys, and the regular street patterns give way to curving lanes and dark areas of woodland. A Leinfelden-Echterdingen map poster brings all of this together: the old village centres, the edge of the airfield, the motorway corridors and the valley slopes, all in fine black line work that shows how varied this edge of Stuttgart is.
