It is one of Germany's most prosperous states, with Stuttgart as its capital, which is also a hub for the automotive industry (home to Mercedes-Benz and Porsche).
The region boasts a rich cultural heritage, vibrant cities like Heidelberg, Freiburg, and Karlsruhe, and charming medieval towns such as Tübingen. Baden-Württemberg is known for its excellent quality of life, combining tradition with innovation.
