Rothenburg


Rothenburg is one of my favorite places. It is actually named Rothenburg ob der Tauber, which is a really long name, that means it is on the Tauber River.

Rothenburg is special because it has a wall around the oldest part of the city, just like is has for hundreds of years!


It is also special because it is the home of a Christmas museum. Inside the museum looks like how I imagine Santa's Workshop at the North Pole to look!

I learned a lot about Christmas at Rothenburg. Did you know that Germans were the first people to decorate Christmas trees? Or that they invented nutcrackers, Christmas ornaments, and other fun traditions? I love Christmas!


Do you remember how I told you about the rathaus in Schweinfurt? Well, they have one in Rothenburg, too, right on the city square. Here I am out in front!
