Rothenburg ob der Tauber is world-renowned for its historic old town, so well and completely preserved that one can truly experience the Middle Ages there. The market square forms the heart of the town. From here, one can admire the impressive facades of the surrounding houses. In winter, one of Germany's most famous and oldest Christmas markets takes place here and in the surrounding alleyways: the Rothenburg Reiterlesmarkt.

The market square is the center of Rothenburg. Framed by the town hall with its renaissance facade, the Ratstinkstube, the St. Georgsbrunnen, the meat shop and on the eastern side by the mighty town houses, it can be described as the most beautiful market square in Germany.
