Ertingen
municipality in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Ertingen (German pronunciation: [ˈɛɐ̯tɪŋən]) is a municipality in the district of Biberach in Upper Swabia, South Württemberg, Germany. Since the reform of 1975 it comprises Ertingen and the smaller communities, Erisdorf and Binzwangen, which had been independent before. Each of the three communities can look back to a long history.
Having been largely agricultural in the past, the three communities have developed into places with a mixed population, consisting largely of industrial workers.
Owing to her companies whose performance is far above average, Ertingen has acquired the function of a centre of commerce and industry for the region.
In the course of time a large number of jobs in non-agricultural fields have been created. But there is still demand for jobs in trade and industry.
Ertingen will probably be rated as a so-called "subcentre" in the future regional planning.
Ertingen offers public services, like primary and secondary schools, a swimming pool, a nursing home with 48 beds, kindergartens, and an adult education centre.
The "Schwarzachtalseen" (Lakes in the Valley of the Black River) offer recreational facilities, especially for surfing, swimming and fishing.

Why this record matters
“Ertingen” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Ertingen, municipality and Baden-Württemberg provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 1, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q538711. VIAF identifies the subject as 124348699. The Library of Congress control number is n81124172. Authority coordinates are 48.100, 9.467. 4 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1975.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
