Rudolstadt, Urban municipality in Thuringia, Germany
The Castle Heidecksburg stands on a hill overlooking the town center, while the Saale River flows through the surrounding valley within the Thuringian Forest.
Established in 776 as Rudolfestat, the settlement received its municipal rights in 1326 and later became the capital of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt principality.
