Neckarsulm is a city in northern Baden-Württemberg, Germany, near Stuttgart, and part of the district Heilbronn. As of 2004, Neckarsulm had 27,296 inhabitants.
The rivers Neckar and Sulm join there, hence the name, which is often misunderstood or mispronounced as "Neckars Ulm", which would mean the Ulm of the Neckar, in comparison to the city of Ulm, which is far to the East, and on the Danube at the border between Baden-Wuerttemburg and Bavaria.
Both the former NSU Motorenwerke AG (which has been acquired by Audi), the Audi Aluminium Plant, and quattro GmbH are located here. Lidl is also from Neckarsulm.
Neckarsulm is famous for being ranked first in the German Solarbundesliga (cities beginning at 10,000 inhabitants), a competition in renewable energy installations. Its other fame is that the Neckarsulm-Gundelsheim Weingaertnergenossenschaft (vintner's co-operative) is reputed to be the oldest in Germany; trollinger and limburger are the principal varieties of grape that are grown.
