About this audio guide
This guide to the Old Rothenburg Craftsmen House in Rothenburg ob der Tauber starts with a shoemaker's bench after dark and a simple glass ball of water. It moves to nineteen seventy-two, when Otto Berger bought an empty, run-down house beside the old town moat line, and to his wife Marianne, who furnished its rooms. Listen standing in the low-ceilinged rooms, near the kitchen hearth in the oldest part of the house.
