Description
Stroll through Reutlingen's Old Town, explore medieval sites, and the world's narrowest street, and delve into the city's rich history and vibrant textile legacy.
Welcome to Reutlingen, a city that traces its roots back to the 4th and 5th centuries. Reutlinger offers outstanding shopping facilities, numerous museums and a multitude of restaurants. If you are a historian buff, then you came to the right place. Learn all about the tanners and dyers that have always been one of the most important and influential guilds in the Free Imperial City of Reutlingen. They still symbolize the hard work of the Reutlingers, since the city is still home to the textile industry and machinery. Learn all about Friedrich List, a leading 19th-century German-American economist from whose ideas the European Economic Community was born, and about Emperor Maximilian II, who restored the democratic constitution of the imperial city of Reutlingen in 1576. Many of the gates of the old 13th-century wall still stand, like Tubingen Gate, the main city gate and breathtaking late gothic crucifixion scene, as well as the most beautiful half-timbered houses that are a perfect example of German esthetics. Come and pass the narrowest street in the world: Spreuerhofstraße. Its narrowest point is only 32 cm wide.
