Rothenburg Museum — Attraction in Rothenburg ob der Tauber

I spent several hours in this wonderful, compact museum, beautifully housed in a former monastery that has been respectfully preserved. The museum offers a clear and engaging overview of Rothenburg’s history and its development into the town we see today. The destruction caused by bombings at the end of World War II—and the town’s recovery from it—was nothing short of miraculous.

The section on the Middle Ages was particularly fascinating and prompted reflection on the brutality of war. There was a rich and varied display of weapons and other artifacts from that era. The exhibition dedicated to the monastery’s history was equally compelling and exceptionally well curated.

I also was told this was about Rothenburg and I dont remember there being much about the history of...

Most of the items in the museum are related to the history of the city, so it is interesting if you want to know more about it.

A word of warning though, be very careful where you are stepping. Many of the entryways have steps up or down and are not clearly marked. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. If the owners of the museum are reading this: please mark...
