Rottweil, Medieval town center in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
The urban landscape of Rottweil combines medieval architecture with the 232-meter ThyssenKrupp test tower rising above the historical stone buildings and streets.
Founded as Arae Flaviae in 73 AD by Romans, Rottweil developed into a Free Imperial City in 1268 and maintained this status for nearly 600 years.
The annual Fasnet carnival fills the streets with traditional masks, costumes, and parades, following customs that date back through multiple centuries.
The central train station connects directly to Stuttgart and Zurich through InterCity rail services, while Stuttgart Airport lies 89 kilometers north.
The ThyssenKrupp elevator test tower features Germany's highest public observation deck, offering views across Baden-Württemberg and the Black Forest.
