Encyclopedic overview
Hochdorf ( German pronunciation: [ˈhoːxdɔʁf]) is a municipality in the district of Esslingen, Baden-Württemberg, in southern Germany. The mayors are Roland Erhardt (1986 – 31 March 2009) and Gerhart Kuttler (since 1 April 2009).
Hochdorf is situated about 30 km southeast of Stuttgart in the northwestern foothills of the Swabian Jura and just south of the Schurwald. The municipality extends between Plochingen (west) and Kirchheim unter Teck (south) in the valley of the Talbach, shortly before it converges with the Fils.
