Mengen, Urban municipality in Sigmaringen district, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Mengen stands at 561 meters elevation, featuring a center with timber-framed houses and intersecting streets along the Danube River trading route.
The settlement received municipal status in 1276 under King Rudolf von Habsburg and remained part of the five Danube cities for 600 years.
Archaeological excavations in 1876 revealed a Roman villa with a color mosaic depicting Medusa, though the artifact disappeared during World War II.
The town functions as a station on a European long-distance cycle track, providing accommodations specifically designed for traveling cyclists.
The population celebrates May Day annually to commemorate their successful resistance against Swedish troops during the Thirty Years War in 1632.
