Further reading-

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a town in the district of Ansbach of Mittelfranken (Middle Franconia), the Franconia region of Bavaria, Germany.

It is well known for its well-preserved medieval old town, a destination for tourists from around the world.

It is part of the popular Romantic Road through southern Germany.

Today it is one of only three towns in Germany that still have completely intact city walls, the other two being Nördlingen and Dinkelsbühl, both also in Bavaria.

**From an online essay blog post on Rick Steves blog, he has written the following:

In the Middle Ages, when Berlin and Munich were just wide spots in the road, Rothenburg was Germany's second-largest city, with a whopping population of 6,000. Today, it's the country's most exciting medieval town, enjoying tremendous popularity with tourists without losing its charm. There's a thousand years of history packed between its cobbles.

Ernst twentieth century German painter and etcher, Ernst Geissendorfer studed art techniques in Nuremberg. In the decade of the 1930s he traveled and worked extensively, both in Europe and the United States. At the end of the Second World War (1945), Geissendorfer returned to live in Rothenburg and assumed control of the family art gallery there. Besides creating many fine works of art, Ernst Geissendorfer served as Town Councillor of Rothenburg during the 1960s. Before World War Two, Ernst Geissendorfer usually produced small uncoloured etchings. After 1950, however, he created much larger etchings to which he applied hand-colouring.”
