The City’s Defensive Structures

Marktplatz 1, 91541 Rothenburg ob der Tauber

A massive city wall with a battlement, tall towers, and gates protected by imposing bastions—in hardly any other city are the military defenses still so well-preserved and do they shape the cityscape in such an impressive way as they do in Rothenburg.

This journey through the city’s war-torn and “fortified” history not only showcases some prime examples of medieval fortification architecture but also provides insight into the way of life and daily routines of knights, generals, and soldiers.
