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.
