Landkreis Ravensburg, Administrative district in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Description
Ravensburg district is an administrative area in Upper Swabia covering 39 municipalities across rolling countryside. Several larger towns are scattered throughout the territory, each serving as local centers for the surrounding villages.
History
The territory formed in 1810 when a former independent imperial city and its surroundings joined the Kingdom of Württemberg as the Oberamt Ravensburg. This merger established the administrative foundation that continues to structure the region.
Culture
The region reflects centuries of cooperation between Protestant and Catholic communities, visible in how local institutions and daily life are organized. This shared heritage shapes the way people interact and identify with their surroundings today.
Practical
The region is rural and spread out, so plan for travel time when moving between different communities and attractions. A car is the most practical way to explore the area thoroughly and reach the various towns.
