On the wall



The map
Villingen-Schwenningen was formed in 1972 by merging two towns that had developed quite separately. On a map they still read as two centres with green space between them. Villingen, to the west, belonged historically to Baden. Schwenningen, to the east, belonged to Württemberg. The border between the two old states once ran between them.
Villingen's old town is one of the most recognisable town plans in southern Germany. Its main streets form a cross inside an oval ring of walls and gates, a layout often attributed to the Zähringer founders. The Brigach, one of the headwaters of the Danube, flows past it. In Schwenningen, the Neckar rises in a moor at the edge of town.
A Villingen-Schwenningen map poster brings both halves into one frame: the medieval oval in the west, the more open industrial grid of the former clock-making town in the east, and two great German rivers starting their journeys in opposite directions.

The Neckar rises in the Schwenninger Moos at the edge of Schwenningen and flows north toward Stuttgart and Heidelberg.
The Brigach, one of the rivers that form the Danube, runs past Villingen, so the town sits near the start of two major river systems.

Why Villingen-Schwenningen
The medieval plan of Villingen is striking on its own, and together with Schwenningen it tells the story of a double town that became one. It makes a meaningful print for anyone from either side.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, for example to use only Villingen or Schwenningen, or to add a date. Choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Paper suits the old town.
