Mühlacker

Mühlacker is a town with ca. 27.000 inhabitants in the eastern part of the Enz district, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It has a direct train connection to Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Heidelberg, Pforzheim and the Northern Black Forest.

Mühlacker is since 1930 a famous transmitter site, at which between 1934 and 1945 the tallest tower ever built of wood stood (height: 190 metres). A further landmark is the watertower.

The community of Ötisheim joined onto the city so as to act as a single municipality for certain tasks.
