 the guildsign of the old
smithy by globetrott
This guildsign is the one of the old smithy that you may see, when walking on topof the medieval townwall between Spitalstor and Galgentor.
Each and every shop in Rothenburg, (including even Hamburger-shops with a big M) has these guild-signs and all of them are really nice and interesting Leave a Comment

 a certain way of punishment on
older times by globetrott
This construction is named : Wippgalgen mit Tachkäfig and an english translation might be "Strappado with ducking cage" and it was used as a punishment mainly for bakers, who cheated by making their breads too small etc. The baker was put into the cage and was dipped into the water again and again.
You may see this exhibit just in front of the museum Leave a Comment

 a traficlight for the steps up
to the tower by globetrott
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. Leave a Comment

 snowballs by Leipzig
Price: ?1.20 - ?3.50 (depends on the dip)
I bought one snowball with icing powder and coffee to go. On a bench in a park I made a little picnic and after the snowball was in my stomach I noticed that the icing powder was on my black jeans. Do not make the same mistake! Alternative: don't wear pants! :-D Leave a Comment

 Sign posted outside a bar. by islaazul
Special requests (dressing on the side, french fries instead of sauerkraut) are not an accepted part of dining out, as it is in the states. Leave a Comment

The story goes that in 1631, during the Thirty Years War, Rothenburg, was about to be overrun by a Catholic army. Just before the carnage was to begin, the Catholic general offered a deal. If anyone could drink a three-liter jug of wine in one gulp, the town would be spared.
Rothenburg's mayor grabbed the jug, chugged the wine in one gulp, and slept for three days while the town rejoiced. This Meistertrunk moment is immortalized in the clock on the Councilors' Tavern on the Marktplatz. Several times a day, crowds gather to watch the clock's figures reenact Mayor Nusch's sacrificial gulp for his people. Leave a Comment
