Historical Vaults – The Museum Above Rothenburg's Dungeon Deep beneath the Gothic town hall wing lie the former dungeons of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, where the legendary mayor Heinrich Toppler (c. 1340–1408) was once imprisoned. These underground cells can still be visited via the Historical Vaults, operated by the Historical Festival "The Master Draught" association. With a select collection of original weapons, flags, and uniforms, the Historical Vaults transport visitors back to the time of the Thirty Years' War. Scenes of everyday life from this period are recreated. Text / Source: Rothenburg Tourism Service, Marktplatz 2, Rothenburg ob der Tauber https://www.rothenburg.de/entdecken/top-10/historiengewoelbe

St. George's Fountain (also known as Herterich's Fountain) Built in 1446, the market square fountain holds 100,000 liters of water. For over 400 years, an ornate column has adorned the fountain, crowned by the figure of St. George and his dragon. Don't be surprised: In winter, it's protected from the cold by a glass facade. Fun fact: A replica of the fountain figure can be found in the German Pavilion at Walt Disney World in Orlando. Definitely worth a visit: You'll get a fantastic photo opportunity here when the half-timbered houses of the market square are reflected in the fountain water.

Rothenburg's town hall with its magnificent Renaissance façade consists of two parts: the Gothic double building with the town hall tower dates from between 1250 and 1400. It was recorded by the painter Friedrich Herlin on his panels on the main altar of St. James' Church. The local architect Leonhard Weidmann designed and built what is probably the most impressive building of this style era north of the Alps between 1572 and 1578. While the eastern part fell victim to a fire in 1501, the western part with the slender bell tower has survived to this day. The arcades were added in 1681, and their round arches are decorated with the coats of arms of the seven electors. The building sections are connected by the atrium. The old Rothenburg measurements can be seen on the left and right of the portal. Since in the Middle Ages every state, no matter how small, had its own measurements, these were publicly announced on the market square. On the left you can see the "rod", "yardstick" and "shoe", on the right the "thicket". The town hall tower, which has no foundation of its own but is only placed on the gable, is architecturally significant. The tower's viewing platform can be reached via the main entrance.

Beautiful historic town hall and at the same time the tourist center of Rothenburg. Accordingly, it is usually difficult to get through here.

The town hall consists of two parts of the building. The Gothic double building with the town hall tower was built between 1250 and 1400. In 1501 the eastern part fell victim to flames, while the western part with the 52 meter high tower has been preserved to this day. At the end of the 16th century, the master builder Leonhard Weidmann, who also built the master builder's house, the Hegereiter house and the hospital bastion, built the eastern part with the Renaissance facade. The Baroque arcade was added at the end of the 17th century. The building is a unique work of art.

In the town hall there is the History Vault, an exhibition with scenes from the Thirty Years' War. In addition, some of the dungeons located in the basement of the town hall were made accessible. A reconstructed torture chamber can also be seen there.

The sandstone cave in the Schwarzachklamm got its name from the Swedish king Gustav Adolf, who is said to have attended a sermon given by the Nuremberg pastor Cornelius Mareius there in 1632 after a battle victory in the Thirty Years' War. It is the largest of the erosive washes in the Schwarzach Gorge. https://urlaub.nuernberger-land.de/detail/id=6220ae58f24f424775ea02b6

In fact, everything has already been said here. The hiking trail between the Schwarzach and Karlshöhle is unparalleled. But not on the weekend.
