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.

Nördlingen's city wall is a true gem of medieval architecture and a highlight for visitors of all ages. It is the only completely preserved and fully accessible city wall in Germany. With a length of approximately 2.6 to 2.7 kilometers, it encloses the entire old town and features a covered walkway that is accessible throughout. The wall originally dates back to 1327, when Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian ordered its construction for the city's defense. Over the centuries, it has been expanded and reinforced several times, including with five city gates, twelve towers, bastions, and oven towers for close-quarters defense.

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.

Partly open, partly with battlements, the high wall offers beautiful insights into the city centre

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.

The view over Nördlingen and the Ries is overwhelmingly beautiful! If you dare, you should tackle the 350 steps.

The construction of the city wall began in 1327 on the orders of Ludwig the Bavarian. It replaced the old defensive wall, the course of which can still be seen today along the old town streets Drehergasse, Bei den Kornschrannen, Vordere Gerbergasse, Herrengasse and Neubaugasse. Between 1536 and 1613, four gates and two towers were completely rebuilt. In addition, seven oven towers, three strong bulwarks and two bastions were built during this period. During the Thirty Years' War in 1634, Nördlingen's city fortifications withstood a siege by imperial troops in the run-up to the Battle of Nördlingen. From 1803 onwards, the people of Nördlingen began to demolish parts of the now superfluous city wall. In 1826, King Ludwig I of Bavaria placed the wall under his protection and prohibited its further demolition. The city moat, which was partially filled with water in the Middle Ages, has been preserved around the wall. The Burgerweiher pond (currently used as an ice rink) was used to control the water supply in the water-filled section. A former drainage tunnel can be seen from the battlement on the retaining wall opposite the moat. Parts of the former city moat are now parks.
