History
Reichenbach was mentioned for the first time in 1268. In 1906, its name was changed to "Reichenbach an der Fils" to avoid confusion with other towns or villages with the same name.
Transportation
Reichenbach is located 25 km southeast of Stuttgart, on interstate road 10. Reichenbach's train station is part of the "Filsbahnstrecke" between Stuttgart and Ulm.
Economy
Due to a structural change in the German economy during the 1990s, the textile mill Otto (est. 1879) had to close down. The lathe manufacturer Traub was taken over by Esslinger INDEX-Werke and had to lay off a large number of workers in the process. Other businesses include the corrugated board manufacturer Seyfert, the conveyance company Nagel, the electric appliances manufacturer Electrostar and the plastic processing plant Volz.
