Rothenburg ob der Tauber (Germany) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Germany.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a city located on the Romantic Road and where Germany’s Middle Ages have been preserved right up to the present day.
The huge Röder Gate is one of several entrances to this former free imperial city that is protected by a high wall and massive fortified towers.
From the market square, the Herrengasse leads down to the Burg Gate. In previous centuries a horse market was held there and it was also a much-favoured residential area of the aristocracy. Next to the Herrn Fountain is a Franciscan Church, a spartan mediaeval sacred building with five chapels and numerous tombs along its walls.
One of the city’s most famous views is Plönlein Gate, Siebers Tower and a number of half-timbered buildings. Another strongly fortified gate, the Kobolzeller Gate, is both defiant and powerful at the same time.
Located above theTauber Valley, Rothenburg is, not surprisingly, a very popular tourist destination, a fairytale, picture-postcard city.

GERMANY LIKE A FAIRYTALE 3 _ Demnächst _ Soon (2)
ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER Mai 2016
LOVELY ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER Mai 2016
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a nice town in the district of Ansbach of Mittelfranken (Middle Franconia), the Franconia region of Bavaria, Germany. It is well known for its well-preserved medieval old town, a destination for tourists from around the world. It is part of the popular Romantic Road through southern Germany.This very long name Rothenburg ob der Tauber means, in German, Red fortress above the Tauber (river) . You should definitely visit this wonderfully preserved old town of Rothenburg ,with all its half-timbered houses, numerous towers, the completely preserved city wall, which is accessible and the typical ancient cobblestone streets if you are planning a visit to Germany.
In 950, the weir system in today’s castle garden was constructed by the Count of Comburg-Rothenburg.
In 1070, the counts of Comburg-Rothenburg, who also owned the village of Gebsattel, built Rothenburg castle on the mountain top high above the River Tauber.
The counts of the Comburg-Rothenburg dynasty died out in 1116. The last count, Count Heinrich, Emperor Heinrich V appointed instead his nephew Konrad von Hohenstaufen as successor to the Comburg-Rothenburg properties.In 1170, the city of Rothenburg was founded at the time of the building of Staufer Castle. The centre was the marketplace and St. James' Church (in German: the St. Jakob). The development of the oldest fortification can be seen, the old cellar/old moat and the milk market. Walls and towers were built in the 13th century. Preserved are the “White Tower” and the Markus Tower with the Röder Arch.
24 Rothenburg Wall Walk
From our 2016 trip to Europe.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is one of the few European towns with its complete circuit of medieval town walls fully intact. You can circumnavigate the entire town but we did a half-circle around the east side of Rothenburg, starting at Klingentor, the tower at the north end of town. Klingentor (the “Cliff Tower”) was not only a defensive bastion but also the town’s reservoir from 1595 - 1910 with a copper tank holding 240 gallons of drinking water. It stands beside the late-Gothic Saint Wolfgang’s Church with its own tiny bell tower.
A staircase built into the side of the tower lets you ascend to the covered walkway which affords nice views over the medieval town. The twin-towered church is Saint Jakob’s, the clock tower is Weisserturm, and the tall white spire is that of the Old Town Hall. The walkway becomes a tunnel-like passage as it passes through each of Rothenburg’s defensive towers.
Plaques built into the wall offer thanks to people from all around the world who contributed to the restoration of the town walls. It was a Sunday morning so while we were walking, we heard the church bells ringing.
We descended the wall at Spitaltor at the south end of town where the town’s best fortifications are located. The tower is formidable with a guardhouse on top, but it is the double-bastion that significantly reinforced the defenses at this critical point. It was constructed circa 1600 when stronger artillery started posing a greater risk to every town’s weak point: the wooden doors. The emblem on the tower depicts angels blessing the Holy Roman Emperor (symbolized by the double eagle) who in turn blesses the town (symbolized by the two red towers). The canon gallery in the double-bastion is accessed via ramps rather than stairs so that horse-drawn caissons could deliver the ammunition.
The video ends with a series of still photos, including one of a plaque attesting that Anneliese Friese, from whom we bought a cuckoo clock, was one of the contributors to the town wall restoration project.
22 Rothenburg ob der Tauber
From our 2016 trip to Europe
During the town’s heyday in the 12th - 14th c., Rothenburg was one of Germany’s largest towns due to its strategic location on a major trade route. It’s subsequent decline left it a perfectly preserved relic of the Middle Ages.
The Marktplatz was the central hub of town. The white clocktower building at the top of the square is the Councilor’s Tavern built in 1466. It was the site of the “Meistertrunk” legend, where in 1631, the mayor of this Protestant town allegedly saved Rothenburg from being pillaged by a conquering Catholic army when he won a bet that he couldn’t down a huge tankard of wine in one gulp. Mechanical figures built into the façade of the tavern reenact the story but we didn’t capture it on video.
To the left of Councilor’s Tavern is the brown stone New Town Hall, built in 1570 when part of the 13th c. Old Town Hall, which it adjoins (the other white building with the tall pointy tower) was destroyed by fire.
The two fine half-timbered houses had lofts that were filled with enough grain to survive a year-long siege. In front is a 17th c. fountain featuring a statue of St George slaying the dragon. The fountain served multiple purposes: for drinking, for fighting fires, and it was stocked with fish in times of siege. One of the two houses is an apothecary shop dedicated to the Virgin Mary (Marien Apotheke).
Around the corner, we get a better view of the Old Town Hall and its 200-foot tall tower.
We enjoyed visiting the Käthe Wolfahrt Christmas shops, one of which included an animated stuffed-animal display. Outside the shop, Pam chatted with a new friend.
Extending west from the Marktplatz is Herrngasse, the street on which the more aristocratic citizens (the Herren) lived. It ends at the Burgtor, one of the gate towers in the town walls. The holes in the “face mask” allowed defenders to pour boiling oil on would-be intruders.
The Burgtor leads out to the Burggarten, offering a lovely view of the southern “finger” of Rothenburg. Nearby is a convent with a peaceful herb and flower garden.
St Jakobskirche dates to the 1300’s. On this particular day, a wedding was attended by a motorcycle gang, making for a noisy but fun happenstance. When things quieted down, we took a peak at the statues of Adam and Eve adorning the exterior, and the nearby statues of Jesus praying at Gethsemane, carved by an anonymous 14th c. artisan working only for the glory of God.
Inside the church, the main altar is from 1446. Below Christ are statues of 6 saints including the church’s patron Saint James with his customary shell and floppy hat, reminding us that this church was on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route (“Saint Jakob” is “Saint James”). Even the back of the altarpiece is beautifully painted. The stained glass windows behind the altar are originals from the 1330’s.
To the left of the main altar is the Tabernacle of the Holy Eucharist from the mid-1300’s. The compartment below stored the communion bread and wine. God the Father holds the outstretched arms of the Son while the Dove of the Holy Spirit lights on his head. From this vantage point, you can only see the top of the skull on which Jesus is standing, symbolizing his victory over death.
The church’s greatest masterpiece is the Holy Blood Altar, a 500-year-old, 35-foot-high, wooden altarpiece carved by Tilman Riemenschneider, considered the greatest of the German woodcarvers. Pilgrims flocked here in the middle ages to see the crystal in the middle of the cross, avowed to contain a strip of cloth stained with a drop of Christ’s blood. Below it is a Last Supper scene, with John laying his head in Jesus’ lap as Christ gives Judas the telltale piece of bread. In the relief panel on the left, Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey, while the relief panel on the right depicts Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane. Everything is portrayed in exacting detail, from the curly locks of the apostles’ hair to the nails on the horseshoe.
The southern “finger” of Rothenburg boasts some handsome medieval buildings and towers. The rose-colored 12th c. Saint John’s Church is the oldest in Rothenburg. Light reflected off the water creating fascinating patterns on the fountain in front of the church. The nearby Baumeisterhaus has a Renaissance façade with statues depicting the 7 virtues and 7 vices. Some 20 years earlier, Pam and I celebrated our anniversary by having dinner here during our first trip to Germany. The Baumeisterhaus is just south of the Marktplatz as we once again spot the Councilor’s Tavern. The corner gift shop perched a bubble-blowing bear in it’s upstairs window.
The streets leading east from the Marktplatz also had some lovely medieval architecture, with storks nesting in the top of one tower.
Our B&B was in a 600-year-old half-timbered building with a Tolkienesque pub/restaurant where we enjoyed breakfast and dinner.
The video ends with a series of still photos from our visit.

UDE087229 Berni on tour traveling Germany: on the Christmas market in Rothenburg ob der Tauber
The Christmas market in the medieval old town of the Middle Franconian town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber is, like the city itself, one of the most famous tourist attractions and most visited places in Germany. The weather, on the other hand, is not very inviting, a dull, gray and rainy day in December. The Christmas market is located in the middle of the historic old town on the Market Square with the impressive town hall and the Council taproom, the adjacent Green Market and the Church Square at the St. James's Church.
Our walk starts at the Market Square with a view into the Upper Smith Road with the Plönlein and the Siebers Tower in the distance and into the Harbour Road (Röder Arc, Markus Tower), before we reach the town hall with its renaissance facade with the baroque arcade front and in behind the Gothic part with 60 meters high tower. We pass the Meat and Dance House and the Jagstheim House, before we reach the Christmas Museum and the Käthe Wohlfahrts Christkindl market with the corresponding company car parked properly on the Gent’s Road. From there we walk over the Market Square, where the Christmas tree is placed. After a walk around, we continue our walk across the Green Market to the Church Square, where a bridal couple is trying the first kisses. At the local children's carousel our short visit ends again. The finishing scene is shown the Old Grammar School.
Der Weihnachtsmarkt in der mittelalterlichen Altstadt der mittelfränkischen Kleinstadt Rothenburg ob der Tauber zählt wie die Stadt selbst zu den bekanntesten Touristikattraktionen und meistbesuchten Orten in Deutschland. Das Wetter zeigt sich hingegen wenig einladend, ein trüber, grauer und regnerischer Tag im Dezember. Der Weihnachtsmarkt liegt mitten in der historischen Altstadt auf dem Marktplatz mit dem imposanten Rathaus und der Ratsschenke, dem angrenzenden Grünen Markt und dem Kirchplatz an der St. Jakobskirche.
Unser Spaziergang startet am Marktplatz mit einem Blick in die Obere Schmiedgasse mit dem Plönlein und dem Siebersturm in der Ferne und in die Hafengasse (Röderbogen, Markusturm), bevor wir zu dem Rathaus mit seiner Renaissance-Fassade mit barockem Arkadenvorbau und dahinter dem gotische Teil mit 60 Meter hohem Turm zuwenden. Wir wandern vorbei an dem Fleisch- und Tanzhaus und dem Jagstheimerhaus bis zum „Weihnachtsmuseum“ und dem „Käthe Wohlfahrts Christkindlmarkt“ mit dem dazugehörigen Firmenwagen ordnungsgemäß auf der Herrngasse geparkt. Von dort wandern wir auf den Marktplatz, wo die Weihnachtstanne aufgestellt ist. Nach einer Runde führen wir unseren Spaziergang über den Grünen Markt hin zum Kirchplatz fort, wo sich gerade ein Brautpaar in Pose stellt. An dem dortigen Kinderkarussell endet unser kurzer Besuch auch schon wieder.
O mercado de natal da cidade medieval de Rothenburg ob der Tauber (Rothenburg do rio Tauber) é, como a própria cidade, uma das atrações turísticas as mais famosas e lugares mais visitados da Alemanha. O tempo não apresenta-se convidativo para uma visita, é um dia no dezembro cinza, chato e chuvoso. O mercado de Natal está localizado no centro histórico na Praça do Comércio, com sua prefeitura impressionante e a sala do Concílio, continuado ao Mercado Verde e a Praça da Igreja abaixo da Igreja de Santiago.
The moving castle Colmar of Petit Venice Howl in France , Alsace Strasbourg , Germany Rothenburg
Petit France is a town on the west side of the old town of Strasbourg and is well-preserved in the Middle Ages and is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The river is divided into four streams of water and the stunning walkway with white walls and black wooden buildings is impressive. When the weather is fine, I recommend taking a walk by the river and enjoying the view. From the Coober Bridge, the old town is always crowded with people who want to enjoy the atmosphere. It is home to fishermen, leather tanners, and mill mill owners. Ships from the Rhine were able to enter through the Ir River locksmiths and carry goods to the back doors of almost all shops. There is a beautiful view of medieval houses lined up around the river. It is a place where people can walk on the smooth stone path with a comfortable mind.
The best way to get around the city of Strasbourg is by boat. It is a very popular tourist program for tourists, tourists and tourists. You can sit back and enjoy the old town of Strasbourg and the European Parliament.
There is an old town in Alsace, France, famous for Alfons Dode's novel 'Last Class', which is strangely hardly affected by war. One of them is Colmar. Colmar's 'Petite Venice', famous for its background in the Japanese animation Howl's Moving Castle, is romantic, thanks to its old-style houses built in red, blue, and yellow, streets and canals. Create an atmosphere Old-fashioned houses, flower-filled windows, pastel-coloured walls and windows, and pretty signs are all a must-visit for Colmar.
It's better to walk slowly in Rothenburg, a city where time stopped in medieval Germany. The most visited place in this medieval town is the Rothenburg Rathaus. Although it is the largest building in town, it is a 16th-century Renaissance style, and the inner building with a 60-meter-long bell tower overlooking the town is very beautiful, built in the 13th-century Gothic style. The view of Rothenburg from the bell tower is a fairytale European town.
It is amazing that it was built in the middle of the 1200s and has been used as a city hall building for nearly a thousand years. On the Hern street near the town hall, there are shops selling Christmas goods all year round and medieval weapons shops selling bronze armor and swords.
The heavenly sound of the whole cathedral, the pipe organ, is perhaps the greatest man-made instrument. Inside St. Jacob's Church, there are 5,500 piped giant organs. Even without hearing the sound, the pipes that fill the back and ceiling of the church are overwhelming. There is an amazing piece of art in the church. The main character is a wooden sculpture made by German genius sculptor Rimen Schneider called 'The Holy Blood Altar'. On top of the ornate sculpture are two angels holding a gold cross, which is said to have a crystal with Christ's blood on it. It is not possible to confirm that the actual blood of Christ has entered, but even those who do not have religion standing in front of this wooden work created by the best craftsman can feel reverence without limit. It took 190 years to build this church, the symbol of Rothenburg.
The Marktplatz in Rothenburg, like any city square in Europe, has a town hall in the middle of the city. Rothenburg's town itself is a miniature town with a medieval look, so the square is not large. Rothenburg's events and performances are held throughout the year on a stone floor that has been for centuries. The doll, Meister Trunk, sold near the square, tells the story of a miracle-winning mayor who drunk the proposal of a drunken occupier who would not destroy a town if he drank a barrel of more than 3 liters of wine during the 30 years of war. I reproduce it. It is a haven for tourists traveling along the Romantic Road and a coma for Rothenburg.
Rothenburg's specialty Schnivalen is Rothenburg's traditional snack called Schnebal. Schnebal means `` snowball '' in German. Like a snowball used in snowball fights, the cute shape of the dongle attracts people's attention. It is rolled up with a string of sweet flour dough, fried, and coated with chocolate syrup. When you eat schnivalen, you must break it with a hammer. It is a snack that is loved by many people because it is well matched with the bitter coffee.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber - Germany - UNESCO World Heritage Site
In 950 the weir system in today's castle garden was constructed by the Count of Comburg-Rothenburg.
In 1070, The Counts of Comburg-Rothenburg, who also owned the village Gebsattel, built Rothenburg castle on the mountain top high above the River Tauber.
The Counts of the Comburg-Rothenburg dynasty died out in 1116. The last Count, Count Heinrich, Emperor Heinrich V appointed instead his nephew Konrad von Hohenstaufen as successor to the Comburg-Rothenburg properties.
In 1142, Konrad von Hohenstaufen, who became Konrad III (1138--52), the self-styled King of the Romans, traded a part of the monastery Neumünster in Würzburg above the village Detwang and built the Stauffer-Castle Rothenburg on this cheaper land. He held court there and appointed officials called 'reeves' to act as caretakers.
In 1170 the city of Rothenburg was founded at the time of the building of Staufer Castle. The centre was the market place and St. James' Church (in German: the St. Jakob). The development of the oldest fortification can be seen: the old cellar/old moat and the milk market. Walls and towers were built in the 13th century. Preserved are the White Tower and the Markus Tower with the Röder Arch.
From 1194 to 1254, the representatives of the Staufer dynasty governed the area around Rothenburg. Around this time the Order of St. John and other orders were founded near St. James' Church and a Dominican nunnery (1258)
From 1241 to 1242, The Staufer Imperial tax statistics recorded the names of the Jews in Rothenburg. Rabbi Meir Ben Baruch of Rothenburg (died 1293, buried 1307 in Worms) had a great reputation as a jurist in Europe. His descendants include members of the dynastic family von Rothberg, noteworthy in that they were accorded noble status in the nineteenth century, becoming the hereditary Counts of Rothberg, later taking up residence in the city of Berlin where they were well known as jewelers until the 1930s. Most members of the family disappeared and are presumed to have been killed during the Second World War. Several of the von Rothbergs were laid to rest in a crypt located in the Weißensee Cemetery, while two members emigrated to the United States during the Second World War. The family is survived by its last living descendant, Andrew Sandilands Graf von Rothberg (b. 1972), who resides in the United States.
In 1274 Rothenburg was accorded privileges by King Rudolf of Habsburg as a Free Imperial City. Three famous fairs were established in the city and in the following centuries the city expanded. The citizens of the city and the Knights of the Hinterland build the Franziskaner (Franciscan) Monastery and the Holy Ghost Hospital (1376/78 incorporated into the city walls). The German Order began the building of St. James' Church, which the citizens have used since 1336. The Heilig Blut (Holy Blood) pilgrimage attracted many pilgrims to Rothenburg, at the time one of the 20 largest cities of the Holy Roman Empire. The population was around 5,500 people within the city walls and another 14,000 in the 150 square miles (390 km2) of surrounding territory.
The Staufer Castle was destroyed by an earthquake in 1356, the St. Blaise chapel is the last remnant today.

Germany's Romantic Rhine and Rothenburg
© 2002 Rick Steves' Europe | Cruising the Rhine River, we dodge riverboat traffic and the legendary Lorelei. After climbing castles and descending into dungeons, we relax with Rhine wine. We tour Burg Eltz — a lived-in castle where the noble lady still puts out fresh flowers. Then we enter the walled town of Rothenburg for Germany's best wood carving, a vivid dose of medieval punishment, and a tour with the night watchman of the town's lamp-lit ramparts.
Rothenburg Christmas Market
The Reiterlesmarkt of Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Massive stone town walls studded with 42 towers; half-timbered houses with red-tiled roofs; cobblestone streets and flower-filled window boxes: That is Rothenburg ob der Tauber, located on the famous Romantic Road. One of Europe´s most beautiful medieval town looks like a movie set – but it is all real! The silhouette of gate and defense towers conveys the aura of a fairy tale. As you enter through one of the old gates, you will immediately feel secure within the time-honored walls of this romantic place. Rothenburg´s enchantment has prevailed over the past 1,000 years and is continuing to cast its spell onto the international visitors.
Rothenburg is a delight at any time of year, but in winter, the snow turns spires and rooftops into a living Christmas card. Once a year, the medieval town of Rothenburg transforms itself into a winter wonderland. Since the 15th century, a wonderful Christmas market has always been a feature of the festive Christmas season. This market can look back on a 500-year tradition, and since this time it has wisely changed very little from its historical origins. Numerous cultural events are held in conjunction with this market. The highlight of the market, however, is the appearance of the ‘Rothenburg Riders’, who also gave this market its name. The historical origin of the ‘riders’ comes to us from the dim and distant past. Our ancestors believed that they were messengers from another world, who floated through the skies with the souls of the dead in wintertime. But the image of this mythical character has changed over the centuries. Whereas one used to tremble in fear before this eerie figure, today, young and old look forward to his return. The wild horseman has become a friendly messenger.
Today too, the narrow and winding streets and the squares around the town hall, its archways and the marketplace are still lined with stalls where one can find everything the heart and taste buds desire: old German Christmas pastries, ‘white’ mulled wine, large or small handcrafted treasures as souvenirs or gifts. On Fridays and Saturdays until 8 pm you can enjoy the marvelous view over the ‘Reiterlesmarkt’ from the town hall tower.
And so the Rothenburg ‘Reiterlesmarkt’ is today the symbol of the peaceful Christmas market as it has grown over centuries, and the city’s decorations for the Christmas holidays lend it a truly romantic character.
