Schwäbisch Hall
Schwäbisch Hall is the most important regional economic hub between Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Nuremberg.

A number of businesses dealing in property finance, solar energy and telecommunications sectors also have their headquarters in Schwäbisch Hall. Notable companies are "Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall AG", a housing credit company, founded in 1944 and RECARO Aircraft Seating, an aircraft seats manufacturer.
