RothenburgMuseum

Housed in a beautifully preserved former Dominican convent, the RothenburgMuseum offers a deep dive into the city's rich past. The museum's collections span from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, including religious art, medieval sculptures, furniture, and everyday objects. Highlights include the original Rothenburg 'Ratsherrntrinkstube' (councilors' drinking room) and a remarkable collection of nativity scenes. The convent itself is a highlight, with its cloister, Gothic church, and tranquil garden. Visitors can explore the nuns' former living quarters and learn about daily life in a medieval convent. The museum provides context for Rothenburg's role as a free imperial city and its later rediscovery by Romantic-era travelers.
