About this audio guide
This guide stands you beneath the many-sided oriel on the Klingengasse in Rothenburg ob der Tauber and asks a simple question: why does a window this old carry the name it does? It moves through tree-ring dates, a carved year in the half-timbering, and an etcher who drew this street in the seventeen sixties. Best heard looking up at the corner of the house, with the passage under Saint Jakob's Church a few steps away.
