The opportunity to walk up the hill and experience the views, touch the walls, walk through adorned entrance doors, and see other aspects of the fortress from outside was unique. A must-do for those who come to Würzburg.

Rothenburg Town History Museum in the Thirty Years’ War – Since 1966, our small but fine museum has presented an impressive depiction of the situation of the city during the Thirty Years’ War. The focus is on u.a. the legendary events surrounding the conquest of Rothenburg by Imperial troops in 1631. 12 DUNGEONS – provide interesting insights into a lansquenets guardhouse, the fortifications and military readiness of the city, weapons, guns and war equipment. Other military equipment and original flags of the Rothenburg troops are also to be admired. Experience interesting information about General Tilly and the Catholic League, as well as about King Gustav II Adolf of Sweden and the Protestant Union. Among other things, the defense situation of Rothenburg in 1631 is shown.

I (Carmen) grew up in Augsburg and the Puppenkiste was part of my upbringing. Now I'm sad (though it's not surprising) to say that all plays are only in German, some even in native tongue but all are amazing. When I was younger there was a tour offered and I am not sure if it is still around but if it is, just to get a view behind the scenes, I'd go for that any time again. Last time we went, as my husband is english/french, we only passed it and I showed him the outside. It's also close to the 'Rotes Tor' water tower and open air theater which is only on in summer. There are several tram and bus stations near by which can get you there.
