The former post inn "Schwarzer Adler" was first mentioned in documents in 1550. It once housed celebrities such as Mozart and Goethe. A scene on the richly painted facade, designed by Hans Kolb in 1896, commemorates this. The poet prince, however, failed to recognize Ellwangen's potential at the time.

The large district town of Ellwangen, with around 24,500 inhabitants (as of December 2019), is the third largest town in the Ostalb district after Aalen and Schwäbisch Gmünd. The town centre is characterised by the market square with the churches of St. Vitus and the Evangelical Parish Church (former Jesuit Church), the town hall in the former hospital and a spacious pedestrian zone lined with many wonderfully restored historic buildings. The numerous restaurants invite you to linger.
