Römerstein

Römerstein is a municipality in Baden-Württemberg, Germany; three formerly independent villages (Böhringen, Donnstetten, Zainingen) and two hamlets (Strohweiler and Aglishardt) were merged in 1975. Townhall is in Böhringen.

The community is located on the Swabian Alb, in the northeastern corner of the district of Reutlingen. The community is named after the Römerstein, the highest hill of the region at 875 m.

Römerstein (mountain)

Römerstein is a mountain of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It lies on a plateau, whose highest point is above sea level.

It is named after the municipality of Römerstein in the district of Reutlingen, in which territory it lies. Although the Romans in Donnstetten settled immediately east of the mountain between AD 85-260, the name is not derived from them but from the name of the family Rem, which was established in the 14th Century in the region. The forested crest of the hill rises an average of only about 70 metres above its immediate surroundings, but due to its location (near the northwest Albtrauf, above the deep Lenninger Lautertal and by the falling south plateau) it offers excellent visibility.
