Esslingen am Neckar
Since the completion of the municipality reform the "Landkreis Esslingen" yet consists of 44 municipalities, amongst them 13 towns and among those, in turn, six Major district towns (Esslingen am Neckar, Filderstadt, Kirchheim unter Teck, Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Nürtingen and Ostfildern). The districts largest town is Esslingen am Neckar, the smallest municipality Altdorf near Nürtingen. In 1980 German right-wing extremists of the "Deutsche Aktionsgruppen" committed a bomb attack on the administrative district office and the district administrators house.
