About this audio guide
This guide to the Franciscan Church on the Herrngasse in Rothenburg ob der Tauber is about the wall in front of you, and the ground the friars built it on in the late thirteenth century. It follows the parish that inherited the problem centuries later, the builders called in between twenty twenty-one and twenty twenty-three, and the rare wooden rood screen that outlasted the Reformation inside. Best heard standing outside the west end, looking up at the gable.
