What does a silver bend sinister, a golden heraldic lily and a golden mill wheel mean?

These signs are part of the coat of arms of Vöhringen and symbolise the

history and tradition of the town.

With approximately 13,000 inhabitants, Vöhringen is a vibrant town – a town of services and brisk economic activity. Vöhringen also has an educational and sports centre offering a wide range of cultural activities.

A relationship since 1864

The development of Vöhringen has been closely related to Wieland-Werke AG since 1864 when the founder of our company, Philipp Jakob Wieland, bought the local mill, its attached workshop and the water power to run them.

Wieland has been and still is actively engaged in the social and cultural development of the town and its inhabitants.

The town has shown its appreciation of the efforts made by Wieland-Werke AG by, among other things, making Wolfgang Eychmüller, former Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Wieland-Werke AG, an honorary citizen. The town’s Culture Centre was opened in 1993 and is named after him. The Wolfgang-Eychmüller-Haus is the social and cultural centre of the town and the surrounding region. It is a venue suited to numerous events including meetings, concerts, theatrical performances and also weddings and other celebrations.

Experience Middle Swabia between Danube and Iller

Vöhringen’s rich cultural and sporting opportunities are complemented by a wide range of leisure activities. Visitors and residents of the town have the opportunity to walk in one of the last lowland riparian forests along the Iller and to get to know the native flora and fauna.

Vöhringen is conveniently situated for excursions to the Swabian Jura, the Allgäu and the Alps. In the summer, there are many beautiful hiking trails that can be reached within only an hour’s drive, while in the winter you can visit attractive ski resorts there. And if, after a cold winter, you fancy a warm southern spring, you can enjoy the Italian sun in just a few hours.

Wieland is located a mere 18 km south of Ulm/Neu-Ulm and you can also make use of what this twin city on the Danube has to offer. Read our location description of Ulm.
