Pforzheim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Pforzheim is located at the northern rim of the eastern part of the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) and the rim of the hilly country of the Kraichgau, in an open valley at the confluences of the rivers Wuerm and Nagold and the rivers Nagold and Enz. |
 | | The early settlement (in fact much earlier than nowadays centers Stuttgart and Karlsruhe) by the Romans, who shortly past the confluence of the three rivers constructed at this place a ford through the river for their military highway, is also due to this extraordinary geography. |
 | | The communities Buechenbronn, Eutingen on the Enz, Hohenwart, Huchenfeld and Wuerm, which by way of the latest regional administrative reform during the 1970s were incorporated into Pforzheim's administration, are represented by independent community councils and community administrations according to ยง 8 and following paragraphs of the main city-ordinance of Pforzheim. |
