Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Today we were tourists of the highest level. We spent the whole day in Rothenberg ob der Tauber walking the streets, going in and out of little shops, and having no actual plan. We started by walking the walls of the city.
We all liked the cool snake hanging over the door on this home
Medieval watchmen were shorter than Mike; he did a lot of the walk kind of hunched over
A good example of the pulley hooks that could pull things up to the second story. Houses needed to have enough food stored to withstand a siege
When Rothenburg needed rebuilding after WWII, people or towns could contribute and have a plaque added to the outer walls; here we find our next stop — Wuppertal!
Mike and Julia found the Medieval Punishment Museum and spent some time in there.
Just looking at this chair would get some people to confess
Shame masks for people who talk to much
The Rack
The Iron Maiden with spikes inside
Shame masks for men who are pigs
They would lower this into the cold river to half drown someone into confessing
A lot of Lindor chocolate
It’s a Nimbus 2000
One of our former German students suggested we try a Döner Kebab; it was really good after a long day of walking!
