About this audio guide
This guide to Rödergasse in Rothenburg ob der Tauber follows the water: where a hilltop town with no river inside its walls found something to drink, and why one stretch of this lane is wider than the rest. It reaches back to the first town wall around twelve hundred and the Röderbrunnen fountain in the eighteenth century. Best heard standing beside the fountain, with the Markus Tower in view.
