Sveta and I visited this town in January 1. We got it by S-Bahn, 40 minutes from Sielmingen. We walked around the city and climb the castle. The city was found in 777 AD. In middle centuries Esslingen was free town and it has numerous local wars for independence. In those times the town became the trade, agriculture and manufacture center of the region. The town was include in Land Baden-Wurttemberg in XIX century.

Oh, my favorite Germany, how I was missing it this year! Thanks Andrey for reminding that there is one more lovely town in baden-Wuerttemberg where I haven't been yet. Sveta is missing this your trip as well I believe. Durasov House is at its place I see.
