Europe - Rothenburg, Germany - A Medieval Town
It is Germany’s best-preserved walled town and is a town on the Romantic Road in Bavaria, Germany, about halfway in between Frankfurt and Munich. It is known for its medieval center, seemingly untouched by the passage of time, encircled by the undamaged 14th century town wall.
Rothenburg, an Untouched Medieval Town in Germany
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a town along the Romantic Road in Bavaria, Germany, about halfway in between Frankfurt and Munich. It is best known for its medieval town center, seemingly untouched by the passage of time, encircled by the undamaged 14th century town wall.
In the Middle Ages, Rothenburg ob der Tauber was a free imperial city, reaching its apex of prosperity under mayor Heinrich Toppler in the 15th century with a large population of 6,000 - much larger than Frankfurt or Munich at that time. Today Rothenburg is a small, quaint town and a big tourist attraction. The name Rothenburg ob der Tauber means, in German, Red fortress above the Tauber. This is so because the town is located on a plateau overlooking the Tauber River.
The Market Square is the center of urban life in Rothenburg. The Square is framed on the west by the Town Hall, on the north by the City Councillors' Tavern with its Tourist Information center, on the east by shops and cafes, and on the south by St. George's Fountain. The 13th century Town Hall Tower at the center of the Altstadt offers the best view of the area.
While buildings within the walled city reflect the city's medieval history, this part of the city is in many ways a normal, modern German town with some concession to the tourist trade. Many stores and hotels catering to tourists are clustered around the Town Hall Square and along several major streets. Also in the town is a criminal museum, containing various punishment and torture devices used during the Middle Ages.
Rothenburg has appeared in several films, notably fantasies. It was the inspiration for the village in the 1940 Walt Disney movie Pinocchio. Filming was also done in Rothenburg for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The Medieval Walls of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Germany
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a medieval German city preserved because of poverty and luck. Poverty kept the town from evolving, freezing it in the medieval ages. Luck kept it from being bombed during WWII because both the Americans and Germans in charge near Rothenburg realized the historical value and the city was saved.
The medieval wall can be seen from miles away and once kept attackers at bay for hundreds of years until Rothenburg was finally conquered during the Thirty Years War.
