Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a small city with a world-famous historic old town. The highly-touristic city's appeal is the very well-preserved town center that is completely surrounded by a city wall. That is why this Bavarian city close to Nuremberg is seen as a romanticized example of medieval Germany.
