Waldshut-Tiengen: Tiengen Altstadt - Hauptstraße
Tiengen Altstadt sits on the Wutach in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, where the river runs from the Klettgau toward the Rhine. Hauptstraße is the old town’s central commercial street, shaped by closely set, gabled townhouses, shopfronts and cafés rather than grand boulevards. Tiengen developed as the historic centre of the Klettgau, a region between the Black Forest and the High Rhine. Schloss Tiengen, associated with the Counts of Sulz, recalls the town’s aristocratic past. Since 1975, Tiengen has formed part of the twin town of Waldshut-Tiengen, whose other historic centre stands beside the Rhine.

Waldshut-Tiengen has served as a frontier settlement on the High Rhine in Baden-Württemberg since the Middle Ages. The Rhine forms the city’s southern edge opposite Switzerland, while the wooded slopes of the southern Black Forest rise to the north. The present municipality was created in 1975 through the union of the historic towns of Waldshut and Tiengen. Waldshut’s old town is organised around Kaiserstraße, and Tiengen’s former castle is home to the Klettgau Museum, which explores the history of the surrounding region.

Baden-Württemberg is best known within Germany for the Black Forest, the wooded upland region that shapes much of the state’s southwest. Its terrain also reaches from the Upper Rhine plain and its wine-growing areas to the limestone ridges of the Swabian Jura, while Lake Constance marks part of the southern frontier. Stuttgart, the state capital, is closely tied to the automobile industry and hosts the Mercedes-Benz Museum and Porsche Museum. Heidelberg’s old town and castle add another important strand to the region’s identity, alongside renowned universities, spas and regional cooking.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
