Schw�bisch Hall is the most important regional economic hub between Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Nuremberg. Formerly, salt was important to Schw�bisch Hall, but today the economy is shaped by a group of medium-sized companies, focusing mainly on trade and services sectors. A number of businesses dealing in property finance, solar energy and telecommunications sectors also have their headquarters in Schw�bisch Hall. One notable company is Bausparkasse Schw�bisch Hall AG, a housing credit company, founded in 1944.
There are up to 600 overnight stays in Schw�bisch Hall hotels from visitors of Goethe-Institut students
