In addition to nine large cities, Baden-Württemberg also has the smallest medium-sized city in all of Germany in terms of the number of inhabitants.
Tettnang - In Germany, communities are divided into certain categories according to the number of their inhabitants.
BW24
has already created a list of the largest cities in Baden-Württemberg and one of the smallest municipalities in the state.
The southwest has nine major cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants.
Tübingen
,
Esslingen am Neckar
and the baroque city
of Ludwigsburg
are also making great strides towards becoming larger cities from medium-sized towns.
In addition, the smallest medium-sized city in the Federal Republic in terms of population is located in Baden-Württemberg.
Medium
-sized cities
are communities that have more than 20,000 but fewer than 100,000 inhabitants.
Of the 316 cities in Baden-Württemberg, medium-sized cities make up the largest proportion.
The smallest medium-sized town in the country,
Tettnang on Lake Constance
, with a population of 20,077 just about meets the requirements.
Nevertheless, Tettnang is the third largest city in the Lake Constance district after the district town
of Friedrichshafen
and
Überlingen
and even the largest in terms of area.
Incidentally, Baden-Württemberg has the second largest area after Stuttgart in a community in the Black Forest.
Hop town Tettnang is the smallest medium-sized town in Germany with 20,077 inhabitants
The city of Tettnang on Lake Constance is known for the hop-growing region of the same name, the southernmost hop-growing region in Germany.
With an export quota of 70 to 80 percent, Tettnang hops are used worldwide for brewing beer.
The smallest medium-sized town in Germany is also known
for the Montfort Castle and as the headquarters of the outdoor clothing company
Vaude .
According to the city's website, the
20,077 inhabitants
(as of July 2022) are almost equally divided between female and male residents.
Females from Tettnang make up just the majority at 10,109.

The medium-sized town in the Lake Constance district made the biggest leap in population development between 1895 and 1960.
Since then, Tettnang has grown comparatively homogeneously and, for example, had around 18,800 inhabitants in 2010 and 19,600 ten years later.
What is also interesting in terms of population is that Tettnang offers almost
10,000 jobs
and almost 8,000 people commute to work in the city every day.
Germany's smallest medium-sized city has a larger area than Esslingen or Ludwigsburg
