Rottweil: TK Elevator Test Tower, Medieval Stadtmauerring, and Baden-Wuerttemberg's Oldest Town Above the Upper Neckar
Rottweil has about 25,500 residents and lies above the upper Neckar valley in Baden-Wuerttemberg. It holds the title of Baden-Wuerttemberg's oldest town, with Roman origins documented by archaeological finds. The TK Elevator test tower, a 246-metre structure completed in 2017, dominates the skyline and serves as an elevator testing facility. The Fasnet carnival tradition in Rottweil, featuring the Narrensprung procession, has deep local roots. The medieval town wall circuit is largely intact.
Villingen-Schwenningen is roughly 30 kilometres south. Tuttlingen lies about 25 kilometres southwest. Oberndorf am Neckar is nearby. The Neckar here is still a narrow river in its upper course. The Schwäbische Alb escarpment rises to the east. Rottweil gave the Rottweiler dog breed its name, though the connection is historical rather than visible today.
