All regular four-dimensional black holes are constructed in the theory obtained by Kaluza-Klein reduction of five-dimensional Einstein gravity. They are interpreted in string theory as rotating bound states of D0- and D6-branes. Conservation of angular momentum is important for the stability of the bound states. The thermodynamics, the duality symmetries, and the near-horizon limit are explored.
