Böblingen is a city of 50,000 in the Stuttgart metropolitan area, part of the technology corridor that hosts IBM, HP, and the auto-industry supply chain. Its sauna culture serves the affluent tech-worker residential market with leisure-centre Saunalandschaften easily accessible from the city centre. The Schönbuch nature reserve — a large forested plateau between Stuttgart and Tübingen — provides a wooded outdoor backdrop. Böblingen's position within the Stuttgart conurbation means its sauna venues complement the city's larger destinations. German textile-free norms throughout.
