List of cities in Germany Sightseeing Tours in Aalen1. Reiterkastell Aalen
The fort Aalen was a Roman military camp, which was built in the 2nd century near the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and today partly built over in the corridor Maueräcker on the territory of the district town of Aalen in the Ostalbkreis in Baden-Württemberg. As the largest garrison on the Rhaetian Limes, the fort built for an elite mounted unit (Ala miliaria) has a special significance. For research, the sixteen ascertainable epigraphic testimonies are also of extremely high historical value. Today's city name Aalen could be traced back to the Latin word Ala.
2. Dampflok BR-23 (23 029)
The steam locomotives of Class 23 were German passenger train locomotives developed in the 1950s for the Deutsche Bundesbahn. They had a 2-6-2 wheel arrangement and were equipped with Class 2'2' T 31 tenders. They were designed to replace the once ubiquitous Prussian P 8 engines that had been built between 1908 and 1924 and, in their day, were the most numerous post-war replacement class.
3. St.-Johann-Kirche
The Johanneskirche, also called Johanniskirche or St.-Johann-Kirche, is a Protestant church in Aalen, Germany. The church, named after John the Baptist, is located in the St. Johann cemetery directly in front of the east gate of the former Roman fort Aalen and below today's Limes Museum. Several Roman spolia were used for the construction of the north and west walls.
