Rottweil (German: [ˈʁɔtvaɪl] (About this soundlisten); Swabian: Rautweil) is a town in southwest Germany in the state of Baden-Württemberg. Rottweil was a Free Imperial City for nearly 600 years.


Located between the Black Forest and the Swabian Alps, Rottweil has about 25,000 inhabitants. The old town is famous for its medieval center and for its traditional carnival, (called "Fasnet" in the local Swabian dialect). It is the oldest town in Baden-Württemberg[2] and its appearance has changed very little since the 16th century.

Imperial City of Rottweil






Duchy of Württemberg



Rottweil was founded by the Romans in AD 73 as Arae Flaviae and became a municipium, but there are traces of human settlement going back to 2000 BC. Roman baths and an Orpheus mosaic of c. AD 180, date from the time of Roman settlement. The present town became a ducal and a royal court before 771 and in the Middle Ages it became a Free Imperial City in 1268.


In 1463 Rottweil joined the Swiss Confederacy under the pretence of a temporary alliance. In 1476 the Rottweilers fought on the side against Karl the Bold in the Battle of Morat . In 1512, Pope Julius II gave the city a valuable "Julius banner" for their services in the 1508-1510 "Great Pavier Campaign" to expel the French.[3] In 1519, they left the old alliance. They joined a new one in which their membership was extended indefinitely - the so-called "Eternal Covenant."


Rottweil thus became a centre of the Swiss confederation. The relations between the Swiss Confederation and Rottweil cooled rapidly during the Reformation. When Rottweil was troubled by wars, however, it still asked the Confederates for help. [4]


In the Rottweil Witch Hunts from 1546 to 1661, 266 so-called witches, wizards and magicians executed in the imperial city of Rottweil. On April 15th, 2015, they were given a posthumous pardon. An official apology was given by the City Council about 400 years after their violent death. [5]


Both its status as free city and its alliance with the Swiss Confederacy were eventually lost with the conquest of the region by Napoleon in 1803.
