geography

location

Ingersheim is located in the southeast of the Crailsheim city area between the B 290 in the east and the Jagst in the west. The built-up area extends from north to south for about one kilometer, from east to west it measures about 500 meters at the widest point in a west arch of the Jagst. The old village center is near the river, which it touches at an old mill location and a little below at the road bridge of the K 2642 in the direction of Altenmünster, but otherwise leaves its shallow floodplain free and runs up the slope. The later and more extensive building areas extend to the southeast and north-northeast or along a parallel street to the B 290. Within the soft area there are still areas used for agriculture.
