Memmingen – the gateway to the Allgäu. And to the world.
Memmingen is a growing, innovative and internationally networked business location offering outstanding working conditions. PFEIFER's head office is located here.
However, it's just as important to know that Memmingen offers endless quality of life. The town with its 42,000 inhabitants is situated at the gateway to the Allgäu – and thus to one of Germany's most beautiful holiday and leisure regions.
The former imperial town of Memmingen is the location of PFEIFER's head office. The family and the company have been closely connected with the development of the town and region for over 430 years. The importance of the dynamic centre of Central Swabia with its catchment area of over 250,000 people is based on its down-to-earth character. On its centuries-old tradition of businessmen and tradesmen. And on its unique and easily accessible location.
Situated barely an hour by car to the south of Ulm, one hour south-west of Munich, one hour north-east of Lake Constance and one hour north of the royal palaces, the "Hour Town" is the traffic hub of Upper Swabia, the Allgäu and Central Swabia. With excellent connections to motorways, the railway network and – thanks to the Allgäu Airport – to the whole world.
Memmingen is a growing, innovative and internationally networked business location. The centre of the Swabia Association. Germany's strongest economic area outside the big cities. Numerous large companies are based in this region, including renowned world market leaders and hidden champions. Nobel Prize winners and the next generation of scientists from all over the world meet here annually at the Nobel Prize Winner's Conference to discuss the latest scientific findings.
The 42,000 inhabitants love their traditional and historically important town. Because living and working in Memmingen are easy. The mediaeval old part of the town, with its many squares, bourgeois and patrician houses, palaces and the town fortifications, is among the best preserved in Southern Germany. The town is characterised by a vibrant cultural life. The supraregionally famous Wallenstein Festival is just one example of many.
