The Nightwatchman

The Nightwatchman is a genuine medieval man who conducts tours of Rothenburg at dusk, describing city life from long ago.


Separated at birth?

Torture

Rothenburg has a charming museum dedicated to medieval justice. Truly inspiring.

These masks were used to punish people for talking too much, or for being as messy as pigs. I see possibilities here- Ms. Jackson, what do you think?






Frau Alexander wants to order these to replace her desks.

Silke

We would be lost without Silke and her faithful friend Squeaky. She has led this pack of squirrels through crowded city streets, on trains, buses and boats, through throngs of crazed football fans, and to the nearest restrooms. When we remember to listen, she has taught a wealth of information about German history and culture. Our goal today is to have coffee and cake around 3:00, and then to linger over it for an hour or two while solving the problems of the world.

Rothenburg

The medieval town of Rothenburg was spared from harm during WWII, allegedly because the wife of an American officer told him to treat it gently. Whatever, the walled town is like a Disney creation that' hundreds of years old. All this, and great shopping too!





























The sturdy town guardian, manning the walls.
