Rottweil has served as a Roman municipal centre in the upper Neckar region since the 1st century AD. Founded as Arae Flaviae, it is regarded as Baden-Württemberg’s oldest town, and traces of the Roman settlement remain part of its archaeological heritage. The medieval centre stands above the Neckar valley, where painted burgher houses, old town gates and the Hochturm preserve its historic character. Rottweil also gave its name to the Rottweiler dog, traditionally associated with cattle drovers and butchers. Since 2017, the 246-metre TK Elevator Test Tower has provided a conspicuously modern landmark.
