        Romäus is a Villingen mercenary and local hero of gigantic stature, surrounded by numerous stories and legends. One of Romäus' heroic deeds was the secret theft of the city gate of Rottweil, a neighboring town rival to Villingen, which he carried out single-handedly. He is said to have been imprisoned in the Romäusturm (formerly Thieves' Tower), which bears a larger-than-life portrait of him.
