About this audio guide
This audio guide to the church of St. Peter und Paul in Detwang, just below Rothenburg ob der Tauber, is about the carved crucifixion altar in its choir and the woodcarver Tilman Riemenschneider. It follows the altar's journey down from a Rothenburg church into this small valley choir. Along the way you meet Riemenschneider the Würzburg councillor and the Peasants' War of fifteen twenty-five. Best heard standing in front of the altar, close enough to see the figures' faces.
