In this video we will explore the city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber and it’s city walls.
The city wall surrounds the old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber for around four kilometers.
A total of 46 historical towers can be found in the old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
Rothenburg goes back to the 10th century when the building of a castle took place on that location.
By the 12th century, the erection of city walls took place. An earthquake in 1356 destroyed much of the city’s fortifications, but people continued to rebuild.
Since River Tauber 180 feet below the city in a valley, Rothenburg became a defensive site.
The city wall with towers, gates, and holes in the high walls gave good lines of vision to see and fight against any marauding armies.
People there endured many wars including The Thirty Years’ War.
