City wall and towers As early as the 16th century, Rothenburg was often called the "Franconian Jerusalem" because of its city skyline - and rightly so, because the cityscape is dominated by numerous towers. The old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber is surrounded by a city wall. Six gates and a few small doors for pedestrians lead through this city wall into the old town (or out of it).

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.
