4K Walk in Kempten #X

Kempten (Allgäu) (Swabian Kempte?/i) is an independent town with over 70,000 inhabitants in the Allgäu in the Bavarian administrative region of Swabia. It is the upper, school and administrative center of the surrounding Allgäu economic, holiday and planning region with around 470,000 inhabitants. Kempten is the second largest city in the administrative district after Augsburg and is considered one of the oldest cities in Germany, as it was mentioned in a written document in ancient times. Since the 1930s, Kempten has been increasingly mentioned as an Allgäu town, but a Swabian dialect is spoken there rather than an Allgäu dialect, the latter can only be identified to a recognizable extent south of Immenstadt im Allgäu. Kempten is the southernmost independent city in Germany.

The cityscape is characterized by the centuries-long coexistence of two town centers: on the one hand the so-called collegiate town of the Prince Abbey of Kempten, on the other hand the imperial town of Kempten. The contrasting basic and outline structure, which can still be seen today, makes Kempten a twin city.

The Kempten University of Applied Sciences has been located in Kempten since 1977, with almost 6000 students enrolled, making it one of the largest universities of applied sciences in Bavaria.

The medium-sized town is located on the border area to the Austrian states of Tyrol and Vorarlberg.
Kempten is 646 m to 915 m above sea level. NHN on the northern edge of the Alps on the banks of the Iller, about 35 km north of Oberstdorf. The Bavarian state capital Munich is about 110 km away from Kempten, the administrative district capital Augsburg about 90 km. Suburbs and nearby towns of Kempten are Durach, Waltenhofen, Buchenberg, Wiggensbach, Lauben, Haldenwang, Wildpoldsried and Betzigau.

Of the German cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants, Kempten is 672 m above sea level. NHN (old town) after Villingen-Schwenningen (704 m) the second highest.

The city's local mountain, the Mariaberg, is the highest point in the city at 915 m. Further scenic accents are set by narrow ridges and crests such as those of the Haubenschloss (759 m), the Reichelsberg, the Halde (700 m) in a north-south direction and the elevations of the Burghalde (690 m) and the Lenzfrieder Höhenridge (762 m) in an east-west direction. In the south, the Alps dominate the panorama.

The main river is the Iller; Erosion channels, streams and tributaries are the Rottach, Kollerbach, Bachtelbach, Durach and Leubas, Ursulasrieder Bach and other smaller, often unnamed streams. They feed the water from ridges and slopes into partly ravine-like incisions (Kalbsangsttobelbach) in the north-east or north-west flow direction of the Iller. The total length of the watercourses in Kempten is over 176 km, of which the Iller itself is only 13 km. The larger bodies of water in Kempten are Bachtelweiher, Herrenwieser Weiher, Schwabelsberger Weiher and Stadtweiher; smaller ones are the Steufzger Weiher and the pond in the Engelhaldepark. They are all artificially dammed, usually several hundred years ago.
From a natural spatial perspective, Kempten belongs to the pre-Alpine moor and hill country - more precisely to the Iller foothills natural area unit, which was also referred to in older literature as the Iller young moraine country.

From a structural geological point of view, the boundary between the folded rocks, which are counted on the northern edge of the Allgäu Alps, and the unfolded sediments of the Molasse Basin runs underground. .
