The Strohgäu is a landscape space in Baden-Wuerttemberg.
Regions
The Strohgäu too Lower Gäu called, is northwest of Stuttgart. In the north, the Enz forms the border to Stromberg, in the west it turns into that Heckengäu. In the south, the Strohgäu borders on the Korngäu and to the foothills of the Schönbuchs. In the east, the Lange Feld merges into the Neckar basin. The Strohgäu is traversed by the Glems, which rises at Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart-Weilimdorf and flows into the Enz.
The originally quite rural region has changed a lot in the last few decades, it is relatively densely populated, characterized by industry and trade, and well developed in terms of transport, which is not least due to its proximity to the state capital Stuttgart.
