Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany

Rothenberg ob der Tauber is located in the district of Ansbach of Mittelfranken in the Franconia region of Bavaria. It is a well known tourist destination, and in the middle ages it was famous as an imperial free city (meaning that it was ruled only the Roman Emperor of the time, and not a Prince or other governing body). The city itself is located on the plateau above the Tauber River (hence the name).

Another famous aspect to this city is that it is also a well known preserved medieval town. This Franconian gem is the real deal where people can walk side by side with an ancient heritage and a modern outlook.

For a little bit of culture, the Church of St. Jacob contains a masterpiece by the famous sculptor Tilman Riemenschneider.
