Rottenburg am Neckar has functioned as an administrative centre in the Neckar valley since the Roman era. Beneath and around the modern town lie traces of Sumelocenna, a Roman settlement in the province of Germania Superior; archaeological finds are presented at the Roman Museum. The compact old centre follows the river and retains timber-framed houses, while St Martin’s Cathedral reflects Rottenburg’s role as the seat of a Catholic diocese established in 1821. Vineyards and wooded slopes link the town to the wider landscape between the Swabian Jura and the Black Forest.
