Lahr lies in the Rhine Valley beneath the Black Forest close to the university city of Freiburg and Strasbourg- home of the European Parliament.

Its central location on one of the most important transport axes (A5) and its proximity to France and Switzerland are among other advantages enjoyed by Lahr with its population of 45,000 EUROPA-PARK, Germany’s largest open air leisure park with 3,6 million visitors annually and the largest hotel in Germany lie practically on the doorstep.

The extensive area of the ex-NATO airbase lies right by the motorway junction offering room for development opportunities as well as storage space and existing buildings for rental on the industry and business park.
The southern Upper Rhine region is home to many well-known globally active companies Including Herrenknecht AG, Duravit AG, Grohe Water Technology AG, Hubert Burda Media, Janoschka Group and VIVIL
