Night watchman Tour
by chuying
A very entertaining walking tour led by medieval "night watchman". He was fun and very informative. You will learn more history of this thousand years old town. No need to book the tour ahead, in winter they've only 1 session (8pm) but summer may have one in the afternoon. Just meet at the Town Hall Square, he will pop out at the tour time and be ready to take picture with him. We weren't dressed for the freezing weather during the night tour (-10 DC), so it was a very cold cobblestone walk. It would be more fun if you go in a warmer night.
KOBOLZELLER TOWER
by LoriPori
Walking south on Schmiedgasse, you come to the scenic fork in the road called the Plonlein or Little Square. To the right of the Plonlein is the KOBOLZELLER TOWER (circa 1360 ). The Kobolzeller Gate leads out to a winding, steep road to the Tauber Valley and the famous Double Bridge.
a traficlight for the steps up to the tower
by globetrott
When you step up the plenty of steps to the top of the tower of the townhall, you will realize, that it certainly was never planed that tourists get up there, but rather some workers to fix the tiles or what-ever.
So somebody had the clever idea to install a traficlight for the steps up to the tower, because at some places it is simply impossible to pass by another person coming down.
This traficlight is operated by the cashier in the very top of the tower.
Tilman Riemenschneider also in Franziskanerkirche
by globetrott
Franziskanerkirche is another important church of Rothenburg, but it might be easily overseen, as it does not have a high spire and it is almost a bit hidden by trees, when you walk in Herrngasse from Marktplatz to Burgtor. The most important work of art, that you may see there is an early work of Tilman Riemenschneider The altar shows Saint Franziscus getting his stigmatas.
The church is open during the day and you may enter freely and without restrictions !
Ludwig Beisbart (bakery)
by FreeCloud about Ludwig Beisbart (bakery)
Not a restaurant, but one of those bakery stores from where you can buy all kinds of 'goodies': sandwiche, bread, salad, fruit, drinks and desserts!
We bought some 'sweets' from there several times. For those of you who want to save food bill, such stores are the places where you should go: have good food and with lower cost. Tomato turnover or spinach turnover, delicious!
They do, so as everyone in Rothenburg, sell 'snowballs', a typical Rothenburg local delicacy seems like, with various flavores. Many people like them, while others do not. For those of you who know what 'funnel cake' in USA is, the 'snowballs' really taste not much different from a funnel cake: deep fried dough then coated with power sugar plus other 'icying' flavors.
