Origins and history
Rottenburg lies in a region densely settled since prehistoric times: excavations have been carried out at Mesolithic sites, and at Neolithic and Hallstatt sites. Probably in the year 98 AD, with the building of the Neckar-Odenwald limes under Trajan, the area came under Roman rule, and the Roman town of Sumelocenna stood on the road from Cannstatt to Rottweil. In 1296 the first of the town's two towers is mentioned for the first time, in 1315 the ring wall, and two years later the Neckar bridge.
