Eningen is situated in Swabia, Germany and nestles in the countryside between the exposed mountain peak of the Achalm and the sheer drop of the Swabian Alb, rich in forests and rocks.

It is a state-recognised health resort and has about 10,250 inhabitants.

There were settlements in the area as early as the Neolithic Period. Eningen itself is first mentioned in a document dated 1090 as a possession of the Counts of Achalm. The peddling trade, for which it became famous, arose out of the poverty and plight caused by the 30 Years’ War, reached its peak in the first half of the 19th Century.

Today, Eningen is a pretty and lively community. It is an ideal starting point for hikers, and the Eninger Weide recreational area includes game reserves with deer, wild boar and mouffon. There is also a museum dedicated to the artist Paul Jauch, who lived in Eningen from 1913 until his death in 1957.
