Rottweil: AIRFIELD ROTTWEIL
The landscape around Rottweil is an open, gently rolling upland, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. Rottweil Airfield (EDSZ) lies amid farmland near the historic town, with a grass runway serving light aviation and gliding. The setting belongs to the upper Neckar region, where the river cuts through the terrain on its course north toward the Rhine. Rottweil grew from the Roman settlement of Arae Flaviae and retains a compact old town of gabled buildings and churches. Its more recent landmark is the 246-metre TK Elevator Test Tower, built as a research facility. The airfield’s broad, unobstructed surroundings underline the contrast between working countryside and this established urban centre of Baden-Württemberg.

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.

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.
