About Wemding
Wemding has about 5,800 residents across 31.6 square km and stands at 463 m on the edge of the Ries crater, inside the Geopark Ries. The town was founded in 793, was besieged by Swedish forces in 1632 and now has a public artwork called the Zeitpyramide, begun in 1993 and planned for completion in the year 3183. The Ries crater formed about 14.8 million years ago and originally had a rim about 24 km across; Nördlingen lies inside the depression. The homes here are all in the same spot in town, small for three to five, with no pool or garden, but air-conditioning in most. Evenings are spent at the home. Check opening times before an off-season visit.
