Rothenburg     

Rothenburg (on the river Tauber) was founded in the 12th century. The visitor finds the very picturesque town, lying on the steep escarpment of the river Tauber in the Franconian part of Bavaria.

The well preserved town center with its idyllic lanes and narrow alleys, squares and houses attracts many tourists throughout the year. Visitors can enjoy the medieval gabeled houses, churches, town keep and wall of defence.

The romantic town was discovered by artists and poets. For instance by Carl Spitzweg in 1858. Rothenburgs appeal lies in the interaction and subtle combination of the pituresque medieval idyll and modern life.
