Ravensburg

Ravensburg has been a trading centre in Upper Swabia since the Middle Ages. The town lies in the Schussen valley, north of Lake Constance, where the Alpine foothills begin to shape the landscape. Its old centre is marked by surviving sections of medieval fortifications and a remarkable group of towers, including the Mehlsack, a white 15th-century defensive tower above the streets. Ravensburg was a Free Imperial City within the Holy Roman Empire, a status that supported its merchants and long-distance connections. It is also the home of Ravensburger, the publisher known internationally for puzzles and board games.
