The church tower, 180 feet high, shaped as an octagon above the church roof, covered with zinc, was built by master bricklayer Kießler from Görlitz between 1838 and 1840. The three bells, weighing 20, 10 and 5 hundredweight, were cast by Pühler in Gnadenberg. The watchmaker Hadank from Hoyerswerda delivered a watch for 390 thalers. The stone image of Barbara von Rabenau, the wife of Heinrich von Nostitz, could still be seen at the Rothenburg church.

The name of the town church already suggests it: Rothenburg ob der Tauber is located on the Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela. Over 1000 pilgrims arrive at the Jakobskirche every year. World famous: the impressive Holy Blood Altar by Tilman Riemenschneider. You definitely shouldn't miss it, but a detailed visit to St. Jakob's Church, which was completed between 1311 and 1484, is also worthwhile.
