The river Glems gives its name to a wooded mountain range called Glemswald in the Böblingen district of Stuttgart Region.

Since 1575, water from the upper Glems is collected in the Pfaffensee reservoir and redirected towards Stuttgart through a tunnel. First it was discharged in the Nesenbach, since 1874 into municipal waterworks.
