Nördlingen je mesto, ktoré vznikalo takmer 15 miliónov rokov. Hoci je v modernom zmysle slova osídlené len posledných 1200 rokov, mesto sa nachádza uprostred krátera, ktorý vznikol v dôsledku pádu obrovského meteoritu do bavorskej krajiny. Vedci odhadujú veľkosť meteoritu na približne 1,5 kilometra, hoci priehlbina, ktorú zanechal, má priemer takmer 24 kilometrov. Meteorit ako zázrakom zanechal v zemi dokonale miskovitú priehlbinu s hĺbkou asi 100 – 150 metrov, ktorá vytvorila jedinečné údolie pre Nördlingen a ďalšie okolité dediny. Obyvatelia, ktorí plne prijali svoju vesmírnu minulosť, zakomponovali mnohé časti meteoritu do štruktúr svojho mesta. Časti meteoritu boli vyťažené a použité v mnohých budovách v meste. Meteoritmi je dokonca obložený aj kostol. Zakladateľ projektu PlaceMania.sk a zodpovedá za jeho obsah, technické fungovanie a dlhodobý rozvoj.

Nördlingen (; or ) is a town in the Donau-Ries district, in Swabia, Bavaria, Germany, with a population of approximately 20,674. It is located approximately east of Stuttgart, and northwest of Munich. It was built in an impact crater 15 million years old and in diameter—the Nördlinger Ries—of a meteorite which hit with an estimated speed of 70,000 km/h, and left the area riddled with an estimated 72,000 tons of micro-diamonds.
Nördlingen was first mentioned in recorded history in 898. The town was the location of two battles during the Thirty Years' War, which took place between 1618 and 1648. Today it is one of very few towns in Germany that still have completely intact city walls—joining the ranks of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Dinkelsbühl and Berching, all of them in Bavaria.
