What? The 30 Years' War represents a turning point for Rothenburg ob der Tauber. In the historical dungeon of the historical festival “Der Meistertrunk” e. V., visitors can examine weapons and uniforms from that era.

Quick fact: The cells in the basement dungeon are scary. The once rich and powerful mayor Heinrich Toppler also died here. The exact circumstances – was he even poisoned? – are, however, not historically proven.

Definitely do: Are you interested in the period of the 30 Years' War? Then book the special tour on the topic, which also allows a brief insight into the historical dungeon.

Opening hours: from 1.5. daily 10.00 a.m. to 17.00 p.m
