Rems-Murr-Kreis
6.7
High score (8-10)
Schorndorf is the birthplace of Gottlieb Daimler — he built his first engine here in 1885 — and the Daimler Museum in town is more intimate and technical than the big Stuttgart museum. Weinstadt in the county is a proper wine municipality (the name means 'wine city') with several estates worth visiting. The Rems valley cycling route is a legitimate day trip from Stuttgart. If you're working in Stuttgart and want to live in a more residential, lower-cost setting, the county rail connections make it practical.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Rems-Murr-Kreis is Stuttgart's northeastern commuter belt — Waiblingen (county seat), Schorndorf, and Backnang are the main towns, all well-connected by S-Bahn to Stuttgart. The Rems river valley has wine country character in its lower sections. Social life is suburban Stuttgart in every meaningful sense. Functional residential base, not a standalone destination.
Lower score (below 6)
The county exists primarily in Stuttgart's gravitational field — no social life here operates independently of whether Stuttgart is accessible. The towns are dormitory communities for the most part, and the social culture is suburban Swabian: established local networks, family-oriented, not permeable to outsiders arriving without connections. Nothing wrong with it; nothing for someone without Stuttgart ties.
