Main street in the old town of Rottweil

Highlight • Historical Site

The main street forms the center of Rottweil. Below the Black Gate, you'll find old, colorful half-timbered houses with the bay windows typical of Rottweil. Small shops, restaurants, and cafés can also be found on the main street, which has more of the charm of a marketplace.

Black Gate, Rottweil

Highlight • Monument

Historic tower gate - which most people know from the Carnival. Every year, the Rottweil jesters start the traditional jester's leap through the gate. On this Carnival Saturday, I could still see some children below the gate with their whips, who probably participated in the annual whip-cracking competition.

Holy Cross Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The Heilig-Kreuz-Münster has been the main Catholic church in the city of Rottweil since the early 15th century; before that it was a branch of the mother church in the old town, the Basilica of St. Pelagius.
First built as a late Romanesque church in the 13th century, a new high Gothic choir with a 5/8 end was added around 1400. The nave, a late Gothic stepped hall with buttresses drawn in typical Swabian style, was not completed until the 16th century; only the lower tower floors, two early Gothic arches in the central nave on the tower and the Romanesque west portal remain from the original building.

Rottweil Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Rottweil is considered the oldest city in Baden-Württemberg and has a very picturesque old town with beautiful half-timbered houses, which are colorfully painted and lovingly decorated with paintings. In summer, the city is particularly pretty, as flowers bloom everywhere in the old town and countless street cafés invite you to linger in the alleys and squares.
