The '''Murr''' is a [[river]] in [[Baden-Württemberg]], [[Germany]], right tributary of the [[Neckar]]. The river gave its name to a small town on its banks, [[Murr (Ludwigsburg)|Murr]], and to the [[Rems-Murr-Kreis]] district, which was also named after the river [[Rems]], which runs roughly parallel to the south of the Murr.
Its source is approx. 4 km south of [[Murrhardt]]. It flows northeast before turning west to cross Murrhardt. After a further 7km, [[Sulzbach an der Murr]] is reached. Here, at its northernmost point, the [[Lauter (Murr)|Lauter]] joins from the north, coming from [[Spiegelberg]]. The Murr continues southwest, passing [[Oppenweiler]] to reach [[Backnang]], where its narrow valley widens. Further towns on its way are [[Burgstall an der Murr]], [[Kirchberg an der Murr]], [[Steinheim an der Murr]], and the community of [[Murr (Ludwigsburg)|Murr]] itself, which is located in the [[Ludwigsburg (district)|district of Ludwigsburg]].
North of [[Marbach am Neckar]], the Murr joins the [[Neckar]] after having travelled about 50km in total.
The Murr runs south of the [[:de:Löwensteiner Berge]] hills. A large part of the river is situated in the forest [[:de:Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald]], after which the park [[:de:Naturpark Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald]] was named.
