 St. Blasius chapel from inside by globetrott
What a pity this building was mis-used a long time as a lapidary-museum at the beginning of the 20th century.
The park around the chapel is also a great place to relax a bit from touristy Rothenburg. Ordinary tourists are obviously totally skipping this place ! Leave a Comment

 the old Casemattes next to
St.Wolfgang by globetrott
You may see a few cannons left and an interesting exhibition about the last days of WW II, when Rothenburg almost completely burned down after a bombing by allied troops.
At the first moment this sounds like an act of insane cruelty against such a beautiful old town without any strategical importance, BUT then you may also learn about the german General Weißenberger, who had the idea to make the city of Rothenburg his head-quaters in the very last days of the war, and about his oder to defend the city of Rothenburg untill the very last soldier...

 the old smithy dating
back to 1649 by globetrott
Today the building is privately owned, but when you get there, you will still see plenty of the tools and instruments exposed there in front of the house and in that little terrace under the arcades of the building.
The beautiful guild-sign of this smithy is shown in one of my "Local custom"-tips ! Leave a Comment

 The chapel of St. Blasius by globetrott
Inside that church you may see some great remains of romanic frescoes.
This building was built as a part of the old palace in 1142. It was partly destroyed by an earth-quake in 1356 and became a church in the year 1400.
Today it is a place to remember the victims of both Worldwars.
You may enter St.Blasius chapel freely and without restrictions during the day. Leave a Comment

 a lovely building behind
St.Jakob church by globetrott
When you enlarge my picture, you may see the fine details of these great sculptures.
I made a little picture-combination of the building and the best entrance-gate (the one of the tower). There is still another gate there that looks nice ! Leave a Comment

 inside St. Wolfgang church by globetrott
This church is really worth to leave the beaten path of the big tourist-groups , who will normally totally skip this great museum and church.
In the back of the church you may climb up the spiral staircase to the Museum of sheep-farming and wool-production. One of the best attractions of that museum is shown on my next tip & picture : The "Schaefertanz-Kabinett"! Leave a Comment

 The "Schaefertanz-Kabinett" in
Rothenburg by globetrott
There is a large niche in one of the rooms and behind a glass-wall you may see this lovely scene of dancing dolls in traditional costumes with the scenery of Marktplatz in Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
You may insert 1 Euro and these puppets will start to dance, according to the music from the opera "Die Regimentstochter" by Donizetti.
All of these puppets are made of bread-dough, made in Neustadt bei Coburg in 1930. A similar such scenery that was built for a doll-museum in Neustadt bei Coburg was lost some years ago, when museum-mice began to eat the precious works of art...
