The Baden-Württemberg Association of Cities and Towns was founded on 10 May 1954 in Baden-Baden. Its main tasks are to represent the interests of its 205 members vis-à-vis the state of Baden-Württemberg, the federal government and the European Union.
The Association has an office based in Stuttgart. Since the end of 2006, the office has been located at Königstraße 2, directly opposite the main railway station. Since 2018, the meeting rooms on the top floor of this administrative building have been illuminated by SATTLER Leuchten.
