Rothenberg
(rote-en-berg)
Rottenberg is an ancient walled city in Germany we visited in the first week of our trip. What a neat city! The architecture was incredible! I would have loved to just sit for hours enjoying the atmosphere and passersby (preferably on a warmer day, that is).
One of the most morbidly fascinating part of Rottenberg was the building of torture. Here are Logan and Jason in the stocks.
These large baskets were used for dunking alleged witches. If they drowned, they were not a witch...rather late to be finding that out, don't you think! They also dunked bakers who's bread did not weigh the required amount. They were dunked one time for every ounce their bread was off the mark.
The kids just playing around, having fun.

Rothenberg. Just so you know. In German they don't do the "th" sound. It's a T sound and most often the H seems to go missing in the pronounciation.
