A very hospitable welcome in Rothenburg
by T&THartin
We've just come back from Rothenburg and wanted to share a tip for a very nice holiday apartment just outside the old city walls (15 min walk to the centre of the old town). It's run by Nona and Werner Henkelmann who are a very sweet and an extremely generous and open couple. The apartment has a separate entrance and is on the top floor of the main house, we've had some beautiful sunsets in our loungeroom... It has two bedrooms and a couch in the loungeroom, so would be suitable for a family to stay in.
Werner speaks good English and was born in Rothenburg, so he can tell you some interesting stuff about the town and how it developed. He is also a painter and many of his works decorate the walls of the apartment which adds more charm...
We were even offered to stay for additional night free of charge, the offer which we'd gladly have taken up, had we not had to move on to another town down the romantic road...

Rothenburg ob der Tauber - a quiet little town...
by globetrott
In 1544 St.Jakob is transfered into a protestant church.
In 1618 Rothenburg has to pay an enormous amount of money for the 30-year-war and large parts of Rothenburg are destroyed by soldiers passing through
In 1648 Rothenburg has to pay 50.000 Guilders for reparations at the end of the war - they do not have enough money and need a credit.
In 1802 the city of Rothenburg looses its independance and becomes part of Bavaria.
In 1881 the first performance of the traditional festivity "Der Meistertrunk" Be careful with the pavement - at many places you will have cobbled stones, pretty to look at but a bit dangerous sometimes
St.Wolfgangs-church & Casemattes
by globetrott
St.Wolfgangs-church is an interesting place to visit next to Klingentor at the north-end of the citywalls.
Besides the old defence-church with 2 beautiful altars, you may see also the "Schaefertanz-Kabinett" , exhibits about everyday live of farmers, the old Casemattes and the places, where cannons were used in order to defend Rothenburg in the medieval times. See also my next tips for places of interest inside that museum !
