NOTES: Rottweil is a city in south-west Germany.

Founded by the Romans it was a Free Imperial City (some self autonomy)  for nearly 600 years. It’s appearance (at least in the old town) has changed very little from the 16th century. To the front of the plate is the marktbrunnen, or market fountain, in the heart of the old town which dates back to 1540 or thereabouts. Rottweil is also famous for the rottweiler dog bred here.
