| “ | The second of our Two Cities finds the mercs defending the Medic's vaguely European hometown of Rottenburg — a sprawling village famous for its centuries-old traditions of 1) chasing the next in the resident lineage of mad doctors out of town with torches and pitchforks whenever they swapped out too many super-charged baboon hearts, and 2) never having been attacked by an army of robots.
Traditions will fall, as will Rottenburg itself if the mercs can't defend its twisting cobblestone streets and iconic towers from Gray Mann's robot onslaught.

Trivia
- While Rottenburg is said to have been the Medic's hometown, his official profile previously stated that he was raised in Stuttgart, Germany.
- Mann vs Machine: The Sound of Medicine takes place in a modified version of Rottenburg.
- There are two real German towns that hold the name "Rottenburg" in their titles: Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Rottenburg am Neckar. Rottenburg may be a play on Rothenburg ob der Tauber, as the name translated from German means "Red fortress above the Tauber". The buildings in the Rottenburg map and in this Bavarian town bear remarkable similarity.
- In the Operating theater in the spawn room facing the bombpoint, a skeleton arm in the far left corner and a cropped picture of the Anatomy of a Heavy Weapons Guy poster in the center of the room can be seen.
