Historic Squares & Gates

Rothenburg ob der Tauber's medieval layout is defined by its central administrative hub and defensive perimeter. This collection features the Rathaus, a blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture on the Market Square, and the Burggarten, situated on the site of a 12th-century Hohenstaufen castle. The list also highlights the city's preserved fortifications, including the 14th-century Burgtorturm and the Siebersturm, which marks the southern entrance to the iconic Plönlein district.
