Schwäbisch Hall, Deutschland, or (in the vernacular called) Hall for short is a town in the German state of Baden-Württemberg and capital of the district of Schwäbisch Hall. The town is located in the valley of the Kocher river in the north-eastern part of Baden-Württemberg.

Hall was a Free Imperial City for five centuries until it was annexed by Württemberg in 1802.

Etymology

"Schwäbisch" refers to the Swabian League (German: Schwäbischer Bund). The origin of the second part of the name, "Hall", is unclear. It might be derived from a West Germanic word family that means "drying something by heating it", possibly referring to the open-pan salt making method[4] used there until the saltworks closed down in 1925.
