Schwäbisch Gmünd is known as the oldest Staufer town, with walls and towers recorded as early as 1188, and lies in the Rems valley about 50 km east of Stuttgart. Its Heilig-Kreuz-Münster was the first large hall church in southern Germany and the first work of the Parler family of master builders, whose Peter Parler went on to build St Vitus Cathedral and the Charles Bridge in Prague. Two universities give the town its student character: the Pädagogische Hochschule, a university of education founded in 1825, and the Hochschule für Gestaltung, a design school with roots in a drawing school of 1776. Industry sits alongside the old gold and silver trade, with Bosch's lead plant for steering systems and the largest subsidiary of the natural cosmetics maker Weleda.
