Rothenburg ob der Tauber – Germany Trip Blog Post #7

Sunday, May 6, Mother’s Day, we checked out of our hotel in Ulm, Germany and boarded our bus for the one-and-a-half-hour drive to Rothenburg which overlooks the Tauber River (hence the full name Rothenberg ob der Tauber). 

The city was founded in 1170 and is surrounded by multiple remnants of ancient city walls.

It was one of the places we visited which hadn’t suffered major destruction during WWII, supposedly because of its beauty. Only 32% of the town needed to be repaired or rebuilt after the war compared to up to 90% of some of the cities.

So many buildings, with so much history, but I just can’t grasp it all this morning. So, you will just get to view the pictures.
