Rothenburg ob der Tauber Germany

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is the picture of the typical medieval german town. If you ever had a vision of what a Traditional German look like, you are seeing Rothenburg!

We went to visit it on the weekend of the "Imperial City Fest". It was a beautiful day to do so.

This view above is the most pictured part in Germany. I thought it was pretty funny on that pictures as you can see lots of people taking the picture of it!

Every year the town of Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber celebrate their "Imperial Festival". It was cool to go and visit this beautiful medieval looking town and seeing the history come to life. Music group, the Royal Riflemen parade.

But they also had tones of peasants showing of what a peasant use to do at the time.

The celebration start on a Friday until the Sunday. The first night they have a Torchlight procession and fireworks with music along the facade of the Town hall mark.

And on Saturday they have another Fireworks in the Tauber Valley.

And just for the beauty of it, you can visit the Franciscan Church and when we did, they just had a wedding celebration the day before. The decoration were still there.

Renaissance Faire note

We went to the Amana Colony Renaissance Faire today, and I took SO much pictures that I will have to probably put a link to an online album, but since we got home a little late, I only downloaded the file to my hard drive, I will have to touch up and I will put them online ASAP, please just be patient with me as I have to go to work tomorrow morning. I’ll try to do it later when I get home…
I was SO much fun though, we were talking Damien and I this afternoon and we agreed on the fact that we must have lived during the renaissance era in a past life (if such life were) cause he love the sword and the history of fighting and really want to learn swords fighting. I on the other end just love the dress and the corset (as long as it isn’t on me, mind you!) ;0)
So this was just to let everyone know that it is coming and soon. I will probably give you a little story about what we saw and then… link the pictures!
As I say, just be patient!! Love you all and enjoy your Memorial Day!!
