Beautiful old town. There are medieval festivals here for good reason

The Kobolzeller Tor is a powerful fortification that allowed access to the city from the southwest. The Kobolzeller Tor was built in the middle of the 14th century. The gate was named after the small town of Kobolzell, which was located below the gate in the Taubertal. The defense system consists of the gate tower, a rectangular forecourt with a battlement and a large foregate with a customs house. Anyone who has ever come to Rothenburg from the valley, whether on foot or by bike, can imagine how difficult it used to be for enemies to attack the city at this point.

As early as 1204, an expansion of the city became necessary and the citizens began building a new fortification ring, which still exists today. Among other things, the Kobolzeller Tor, the Siebersturm, the Rödertor with the Röderturm and the Würzburger Tor were built. The buildable area increased threefold. The circumference of the defensive wall increased from 1,400 to 2,400 meters. (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothenburg_ob_der_Tauber)
