Kirchberg an der Iller (German pronunciation: [ˈkɪɐ̯çbɛɐ̯k ʔan dɛɐ̯ ˈʔɪlɐ]) is a municipality in Baden-Württemberg in the south-west of Germany and in the very east of the "Landkreis Biberach". Biberach is the capital of the district. Kirchberg is located in Swabia near the small river Iller, which forms part the border between Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria.
