Röder Gate (Rothenburg ob der Tauber)

The Röderturm with its fortifications is very beautiful and impressive. The tower can be climbed and offers a great view of the city and the surrounding area.

The Markus Tower and the Röderbogen are part of the oldest city wall around Rothenburg, which was built before the first extension to today's Rödertor. If you visit Rothenburg in spring, listen and take a good look to see whether the storks have already arrived in the nest on the Markus Tower.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber — City Walls and Towers

Highlight • Historical Site

The old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber offers countless photo opportunities. Even if you walk through the city carefully as a local, you will always find places that you have not consciously noticed for a long time.
