background
The Neckar basin is part of the southwest German layered landscape. Particularly near the Neckar, the arable soil is covered with thick layers of loess, which enable intensive agriculture. The Neckar and other bodies of water have dug themselves deep into the ground, and there are centuries-old vineyards on the stony, steep slopes. However, the importance of agriculture has declined sharply, the settlement of industry and commerce was followed by brisk construction activity. Many farms had to give up, some became prosperous. The cause was often in the "Swabian three-field economy" to look for with the crop rotation: Winter cereals - Summer cereals - Building land.
