Roiteringen
Reutlingen is a city in Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany. The population is 112,132. It is located on the short tributary of the Neka River, 35 km south of Stuttgart and 14 km east of Tübingen. It seems to have been settled from the 4th to the 5th century, and it is known that the castle was built in the 11th century. In the thirteenth century, Friedrich II was granted urban privilege. In 1377, an alliance of fourteen towns in Schwaben defeated Count Württemberg here. In the 16th century, the alliance broke down and was conquered by Wuerttemberg, soon passed into the Holy Roman Empire, became an empire-free city, and religiously accepted Protestantism. It was invaded by the French in the early 19th century, and was later attributed to Württemberg. It suffered from air raids during World War II, but its unique medieval buildings are well preserved.
