Shaped by tradition and progress
Buchen is an aspiring regional centre situated between the rivers Neckar and Main. With its 19,000 inhabitants, Buchen constitutes a connection point between the Odenwald and Bauland. The historic town centre is unaffected by through traffic and it is famous way beyond the borders of Baden-Württemberg for its exemplary urban renewal.
The pedestrian zone, neat timber frame houses, modern hotels and convention centres, restaurants, cafés and profitable specialised shops bear witness both to a long tradition and also to the vibrant public life in the town centre. The cosy city centre on the one hand and the generously laid out development areas on the other – this is how tradition and progress harmonise both within and outside the city walls.
Buchen is able to record a strong and steady economic increase in the last couple of years. This is no coincidence but the result of unbureaucratic, flexible and future-oriented business development, enabling the town to prosper and become an efficient regional centre.
A purposefully developed infrastructure alongside low-priced industry and domestic building properties are Buchen’s bases for modern economic policies.
