Nehren is a community on the outskirts of the Swabian Jura and belongs to the district of Tübingen and its catchment area.

During an excavation of the castle hill in the corridor "Weihergarten" in 1951 the foundation walls of a rectangular building, perhaps of a stone house or a tower, were laid open.

They were penned in 1838 by pastor Friedrich August Köhler (1768–1844), who worked and lived here for more than 10 years.

In this way Nehren is connected to Tübingen and Stuttgart in the north and Balingen and Rottweil in the south.

The public local traffic is warranted by the transport association Neckar-Alb-Donau (Naldo)
