Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a town in the district of Ansbach, in the Bavarian region of Germany. The name means “Red fortress above the Tauber” as it is situated along the Tauber River. It is a town that remains in a time gone by, dating back to the year 1170. This town is known for its protective wall that still surrounds it to this day, built in the 13th Century.
I was lucky enough to live just minutes away from Rothenburg. It was a fantastic little town, and a great place to take a date. And Christmastime? Wonderful. Go to Sean’s place and enjoy some lovely pics.
I loved going there at Christmas. It was like a fairytale.
I can’t believe xbrad hasn’t done a piece on Bamberg. I thought a Wonderful place to be stationed.
Most of the time I was “stationed” at Bamberg, I was in Saudi Arabia or Iraq. I knew how to get to the Green Goose. That was about it. Virtually all my friends were either at Illeshiem or Vilsek, so whenever I had time off, I tried to visit them. What little I saw of Bamberg was great, but I just din’t take the time to appreciate it. Sue me.
I apologize.
