Ditzingen is located in the southwestern Neckar basin in the Strohgäu at the transition to the so-called Long Field. The urban area lies between the Strudelbach in the west and the Glems in the east. The Glems, a right tributary of the Enz River, flows through the center of Ditzingen. The city center is on the right of the river.

The Glems formerly formed the tribal border of the Swabians and Franks and was also the border of the two dioceses Speyer and Konstanz.

The former municipalities are districts and at the same time localities within the meaning of the Baden-Württemberg Gemeindeordnung, which means they have a local council that is headed by a village mayor. The local councils are elected in every local election by the population eligible to vote in the village. There is also an administrative office in each village, which serves as the local town hall.

The town of Ditzingen (in the borders of June 30, 1970) include the city Ditzingen, the estates Grüner Baum and Lerchenhöfe, the living places Maurener Berg, Oberes Glemstal, Ölberg and Steinröhre and the houses Ferbermühle, Tonmühle and Zechlesmühle.

The former municipality Heimerdingen includes the village Heimerdingen and the outgoing town Stetten.

The village Hirschlanden as well as the local villages Holzheim and Rotweil belong to the former municipality Hirschlanden.

The village Schöckingen and the living place Talmühle belong to the former municipality Schöckingen. Das Land Baden-Württemberg. Amtliche Beschreibung nach Kreisen und Gemeinden.
