The "Daniel" church tower of St. George's Church in Nördlingen is the town's most visible landmark and a masterpiece of late Gothic architecture. At 90 meters high, the tower rises above the town's rooftops and offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Nördlinger Ries region – on a clear day, up to 99 church towers can be seen. Construction began in 1454 and was completed in 1490 with a temporary roof. After a lightning strike in 1537, the tower received its characteristic Italian dome. Originally known as the "Wendelstein," it was renamed "Daniel" in the 19th century – an allusion to the biblical figure Daniel, who was elevated to the rank of prince. The Daniel tower is particularly vividly brought to life by a centuries-old tradition: Every evening between 10 p.m. and midnight, the watchman calls out "So G'sell, so!" from the tower room. – a greeting that dates back to a legend from 1440 in which a runaway sow helped uncover a treason and save the city from an attack. Those who climb the more than 350 steps to the viewing platform will be rewarded not only with an impressive panorama but also with a sense of the history and soul of this unique city.

The Old Bastion was originally built in the 15th century as a mighty bulwark to reinforce the city walls. The city was particularly vulnerable at this point due to the rising terrain of the Galgenberg (Gallows Hill). The current structure dates from 1554, erected by Caspar Walberger, and was expanded in 1598 by Wolfgang Walberger. The bastion could accommodate up to ten cannons and was a central part of the defense system. Since the 1930s, the bastion has served as an open-air stage, operated by the Alt Nördlingen Association. Every summer, theater performances are held here, attracting visitors from all over the region.

The Old Bastion, once part of the medieval city fortifications, was built in the 15th century to protect the city at a particularly vulnerable point—the rising terrain of the Galgenberg. The bastion was heavily fortified and could accommodate up to ten cannons.

Built in the 13th century, originally used as a trade fair hall. The city administration has been continuously housed here since 1382. The striking feature is the open staircase made of suevite ashlar, built in 1618 – an art historical highlight. Beneath the staircase is the "Fool's House," a former prison cell also connected to the witch hunts. The building is centrally located on the market square and is a popular starting point for city tours.

In October I ended up at the Gasthof Ente because there wasn't much choice. But I was still 30 minutes too early for dinner. Then the landlady came and offered me the Allgäu Kässpatzen. That led to a big laugh when I revealed that I was from Allgäu and the waitress said that the chef had to try harder. I got great spatzen with a cheese that pulled long strings. The only thing missing was a spicier cheese and I seasoned it with a bit of pepper as usual. The landlady was happy because I only complained about the flat plate and suggested using deep plates in future because they retain the heat better. Small cast iron pans would be best. Now an unimportant request of you. Can you check whether she is now using soup plates, for example. HIHI and thank you.

Really beautiful scenery - worth seeing.

The medieval town hall was the government headquarters of the Free Imperial City of Nördlingen and is still the heart of the civic city today.

The massive church of St. George was built like a cathedral for the old city republic of Nördlingen in just under 80 years - extremely impressive! It is the largest building in the world made of suevite. The furnishings with altars and works of art are also very worth seeing.
