Ravensburg, Medieval trading city in Upper Swabia, Germany.

The old town center of Ravensburg contains multiple towers from the 14th and 15th centuries, including the prominent white Mehlsack and Blaserturm reaching 51 meters.

Ravensburg gained status as an Imperial Free City in 1276 and developed into a major trading center through the Great Ravensburg Trading Society established in 1380.

The Rutenfest celebration in July brings thousands of visitors to experience historical parades, traditional performances, and local customs dating back many generations.

The Tourist Information Center at Marienplatz square provides guided tours of historical sites, with 90-minute walking routes covering the main towers and medieval structures.

The headquarters of Ravensburger, founded in 1883, produces millions of puzzles and board games annually, making the city a center for entertainment manufacturing.
