Old Town Fortification Rothenburg-Röderbogen-Markusturm
The beautiful townhouses and the romantic Röderbrunnen fountain, together with the Röderbogen Arch and the massive hipped roof of the Markus Tower, form a wonderful ensemble that is one of the most popular subjects for photographers in Rothenburg. The Röderbogen Arch, with the slim clock tower and the sharply pointed roof, dates back to the 12th century and was part of the town’s first fortifications, later replaced by the outer ring wall.
