    A statue of St. James in Rothenburg serves as the meeting point of several important pilgrim ways. by: danidawnandstevo Views[435] Most cities surrounded by fortress walls had a curfew for its citizens to be inside by a certain hour. The main gate at Rothenburg had a manhole that could be used for a small fee. by: danidawnandstevo Views[311] Rothenburg is Germany's best preserved walled town thanks to a picture of the city that hung in the house of a boy named John McCloy. His Mom visited Rothenburg in the early 1900s and told him about its beauty and historical significance. As fate would have it years later US General John McCloy called off an air raid over Rothenburg during WWII and elected to negotiate the surrender of the town saving it from destruction all thanks to his Mom. by: danidawnandstevo Views[413] Rothenburg devised a way to generate funds for maintenance and restoration of the fortress wall. They offer plaques with your name embedded on the wall starting a 1200 euro for a meter. by: danidawnandstevo Views[311] Rothenburg and an evening tour with the Night Watchman who had a very comical way of presenting the cities history. The tour lasts one hour and he charges 8 euro per person. We estimated there to be about 200 people on the tour. Not a bad wage for an hours work. by: danidawnandstevo Views[324]
