Abstract: The 1--loop string background equations with axion and dilaton fields are shown to be integrable in four dimensions in the presence of two commuting Killing symmetries and $deltac=0$. Then, in analogy with reduced gravity, there is an infinite group that acts on the space of solutions and generates non--trivial string backgrounds from flat space. The usual $O(2,2)$ and $S$--duality transformations are just special cases of the string Geroch group, which is infinitesimally identified with the $O(2,2)$ current algebra. We also find an additional $Z_2$ symmetry interchanging the field content of the dimensionally reduced string equations. The method for constructing multi--soliton solutions on a given string background is briefly discussed.
