Lauingen, Medieval municipality near Danube River in Bavaria, Germany.
Lauingen extends along the northern bank of the Danube River, featuring half-timbered houses and the prominent Schimmel Tower in its market square.
During the Napoleonic Wars in June 1800, French forces under General Moreau established control over Lauingen's bridge, leading to the capture of Ulm fortress.
The birthplace of Albertus Magnus houses numerous medieval structures, including the Town Hall with its memorial dedicated to the renowned Dominican scholar.
The municipality provides direct access to the Schimmel Tower observation deck, offering views of the old town district and the Danube River landscape.
The 1478 Schimmel Tower, commissioned by alderman George Imhof, stands as a former watchtower measuring 439 meters above sea level.
