Do you like traveling back in time? Our guided tour takes you on a journey of discovery through Rothenburg in the nineteenth century. Enchanted places and seemingly forgotten corners await to be rediscovered by our guests. Before the age of photography, it was painters who succumbed to the romantic charms of Rothenburg. During that era, they sought peaceful, country idylls far removed from the industrialization of the big cities. The onset of the deterioration of the impoverished old city untouched by modernization offered many subjects for artists. Art schools and studios were set up in the city and in the Tauber Valley. The romantic reputation of Rothenburg was carried out to the world through paintings and writings.
Some of the artists settled permanently in Rothenburg and left the city a rich heritage of their works.
We will transport you back in time with reproductions of selected painters at their original places of creation. Hidden gardens and picturesque views of the Tauber Valley will be captured within a single frame. This guided tour accompanies the exhibitions of Rothenburg’s museums on the themes of the picturesque, British artists, and landscaped gardens.
