Vaihingen is Stuttgart's technology powerhouse — the University of Stuttgart's main campus on the Pfaffenwaldring concentrates engineering, computer science, and natural science departments, while the surrounding STEP technology park hosts research institutes and corporate R&D centers. The Österfeld business area adds Bosch subsidiaries and automotive suppliers. Beyond the tech landscape, Vaihingen has a pleasant village core around the Vaihinger Markt with half-timbered houses, and green areas along the Rohrer Höhe provide recreation.
