Reutlingen: Stadthalle
Reutlingen has served as a market town at the foot of the Swabian Alb in Baden-Württemberg since the Middle Ages. The city grew on the Echaz, a tributary of the Neckar, where a broad valley meets the wooded Alb escarpment. Reutlingen was a Free Imperial City of the Holy Roman Empire from 1343 until 1802, a status that helped shape its historic centre and civic institutions. The Stadthalle and surrounding Bürgerpark form a contemporary public quarter close to the centre, while pedestrian streets continue towards the old town. Reutlingen is also closely associated with textile manufacturing, an industry that contributed greatly to its growth as one of the region’s larger towns.

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.
