The walls help give a sense to the history of the town. Watch your head! The walls were built at a time when people were shorter. You're welcome.

We around around a section of the wall. Took us around 15 to 20 mins. As it was winter, the rooftops were covered in snow.

If you want to know more, continue reading: "Pax intrantibus, salus exeuntibus" - "Peace to those who enter, I greet those who leave", with this inscription its visitors are welcomed. It is the newest and tallest structure of the Rothenburg city fortifications, the Spitaltor. The hospital tower is part of the southern fortification and was built until 1360 and 1380. The old Hospital of the Holy Spirit was included in the fortification at the request of the population. The city wall had to be expanded and thus the gate and the name arose. Next to the door is the original sentry box. If you liked it, please give it a like, thanks.

A beautiful tower above the entrance to the city. The youngest of the twenty-odd surrounding the city.
