Rothenburg ob der Tauber has a largely preserved medieval old town.
The old town looks very original.
From 1274 to 1803 Rothenburg was an imperial city.
After the Thirty Years' War the city lost its importance.
Rothenburg was already considered an important tourist destination in Germany before the Second World War.
After the Second World War it was rebuilt.
From 1950 onwards the city became one of the highlights of the Romantic Road, the first holiday route in Germany.
The old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber is surrounded by a city wall. Six gates and a few pedestrian gates lead through the city wall into (or out of) the old town.
Visitors can explore the city wall on the Rothenburger Turmweg, which runs four kilometres around the old town. A city of towers.
The city wall that surrounds the old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber is around four kilometres long and makes it a unique medieval gem. Over the years, many citizens and friends of the city have worked to preserve the city wall either through voluntary work or financially through donations. This is evident in the donation stones on the city wall, on which the names of donors from Rothenburg ob der Tauber and from all over the world can be seen.
The old town has accessible fortifications that are embedded in the landscape.
Unfortunately, the castle has been destroyed, rebuilt and destroyed again over the years due to conflicts, disputes and wars.
Rothenburg is also known for several museums, such as the Crime Museum, the Rothenburg Museum (until 2019 Reichsstadtmuseum ), the Craftsman's House and the Käthe Wohlfahrt Christmas Museum .
Nationally known events include the Meistertrunk (a cultural heritage site on the Bavarian list since 2014 and on the national list since 2016), the Reichsstadttage, the Christmas market and the Taubertal Festival.
