Marionette - theatre at Burg-Tor: Zauberfloete performed by Marionettes

    Burg-Tor at night
    by globetrott
    Daily except on sundays you may attend a performance by Marionettes, playing "Zauberfloete" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. That small theatre inside of a small halftimbered house is next to Burg-Tor, and opposite of the Pulverer-Weinstube.

    On my picture : The entrance of Burg-Tor. The small face in the middle was the spot, where hot pitch was spilled upon enemies.

    No spedcial dress-code is required for such a performance, that is likewise nice for children and grown-ups.

    Psychotic Puppet Show in Rothenburg ob Tauber

    Yuki and I were walking around Rothenburg o.b.t. at night looking for a venue for nightime antics. We discover a little door with a sign that said if you want to see the show just leave a reservation. We come back at 8pm and this man lets us into the building and there is about 40 seats huddling around little round tables. There's a set of a little German village set up on the side sliced with half timber and limp puppets, I guess stars of the show, dangling from the ceiling. The tables had pretzels atop and a little shot of a liquor I think called Underburg. You can order beer and watch an extremely psychotic puppet show. I couldn't understand a word but I was busting a gut anyway. They will make you laugh uncontrollably with their violent flailing and yelling like a swanson with no legs.

    Wear what you will.

    The main square of Rothenburg: Take a night-stroll

    ob der Tauber
    by globetrott
    The main square and all major tourist-attractions of Rothenburg are beautifully lighted at night, untill late after midnight. All of the thousands of daytourists will be gone then and only a few people will be in the streets.
    That way it might even make sense to get out of the train for a short stop-over of 1 or 2 hours, in case that you pass by Rothenburg in the evening or night.

    No special dress-code.

    Marienaltar in St. Jakob
    by globetrott
    The gothic church of St.Jakob makes certainly a great scerery to listen to an organ-concert. You may check for the dates and times on my link below, these concerts are held all over the year, at special dates, mostly around 08.00p.m.

    On my picture : The Marienaltar of St.Jakob, made by an unknown artists of the Riemenschneider-school in 1520.

    Come as you are, there is normally no special dress-code for such a concert.

    I didn't stay the night in Rothenburg itself, but in one of the neighbouring villages. In the evening I walked around the little village to see if their was anything to do. Hahaha, and as you can see there was absolutely nothing.... but the old building did look quite picturesque at night.

    Rothenburg's Night Watchman: der Nachtwachter

    Nachtwachter
    by davequ
    An evening in Rothenburg without spending some time with the "Night Watchman" is an evening wasted.
    After dark he will take you all over the old city, giving much interesting history and amusing stories delivered with gusto and humor. After your nightwatchman tour, you will be a Rothenburg expert and will love the city much more than before.

    Early tour in English, late one is more intense, and in German. Very fun and informative. Whether or not you speak German does not matter, the Night Watchman delivers the tour with (imho) more "feeling." I enjoyed both very much, and @ 3-4 Euros it is a bargain.

    Or if you prefer you can walk the city alone after the English tour and you'll bump into him from time to time.

    Great German medieval vibes and history, and most enjoyable.

    Dress warm and put a little schnaaps in your pocket.

    Frankenwine
    by davequ
    German white wines are delicious.
    I had heard that, but was amazed when I tried them.
    Always try to get a local "tasting" set up for you some evening either in Rothenburg or in nearby Wurzburg (your hotel can do it for you). Wurzburg is the capitol of Franconia and a big wine-growing area.

    It is good fun to sit around a table in a cellar with others tasting the great wines of Deutschland with locals who can answer your questions and tell you all about their great local product.

    Wurzburg's Muller-Thurgaus, Silvaners and other wines, considered by many Germans to be their country's best, are a local "secret." The secret rarely gets out because almost all good Franken wine is consumed in Germany, and very little makes its way to your local wine merchant.

    I was looking forward to the great beer and schnaaps, but the wine of Germany was a wonderful surprise.

    A great old spot in a cellar to kick back with a schnaaps, delicious Franken-wine or german beer and chat up the proprietor.
    (I was told it closed temporarily in 2005 and the name was changed. Look for a late-open "cellar" by Marktplatz)

    He had some great stories, the place had truly historic vibes (a lot of things happened here, and as "Scatman" Crothers said, 'not all of 'em were good').
    Close the place, then walk the city alone at midnight.

    warm for your late-evening walk.
