Reutlingen: Gonningen
The landscape around Reutlingen is defined by the wooded escarpment of the Swabian Jura, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The city stands on the Echaz, where the foothills meet the Neckarland, while the Achalm rises above its eastern side with the remains of a medieval fortress on its summit. Reutlingen was a Free Imperial City from 1343 until 1802, a status reflected in the compact old town around the Gothic St Mary’s Church. Timber-framed houses, steep-roofed streets and the surrounding Jura slopes give this part of Baden-Württemberg a distinct character between upland and urban plain.

Few cities in Baden-Württemberg have a history as closely tied to the status of a Free Imperial City as Reutlingen. Set on the Echaz River at the foot of the Swabian Alb, it combines a compact historic centre with direct access to the wooded escarpments of this limestone upland. The Tübinger Tor, a surviving medieval town gate, recalls the former fortifications, while Spreuerhofstraße is widely known as one of the world’s narrowest streets. Reutlingen also remains an important commercial centre for the surrounding Alb foothills.

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.
