Rothenburg o. d. Tauber - Spitalbastei 01

            Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a town in the district of Ansbach of Mittelfranken (Middle Franconia), the Franconia region of Bavaria, Germany. 

It is well known for its well-preserved medieval old town, a destination for tourists from around the world. It is part of the popular Romantic Road through southern Germany. Today it is one of only three towns in Germany that still have completely intact city walls, the other two being Nördlingen and Dinkelsbühl.

The impressive fortification was built at the end of the 16th century in the form of a figure of eight. The bastion has two flanks, seven gates, a portcullis, a drawbridge and a parapet suitable for cannons.

Rothenburg was a Free imperial city from the late Middle Ages to 1803. In 1884 Johann Friedrich (von) Hessing (1838–1918) built Wildbad Rothenburg o.d.T. 1884–1903.

Rothenburg has appeared in several films, notably fantasies. It was the inspiration for the village in the 1940 Walt Disney movie Pinocchio. 

It was the location for the Vulgarian village scenes in the 1968 family movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. 

It is sometimes mistaken as the town at the end of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971); that town was Nördlingen. 

The town served as a loose basis for the fictional town of Lebensbaum ("life tree") in the video game Shadow of Memories (Shadow of Destiny in the American market). 

Pictures of the town were used in some parts of "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" and the trailer for the film. The camera flies over the town from the direction of the valley towards the Town Hall. 

A plaque exists on the rebuilt town wall to commemorate this. Filming was done in Rothenburg for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010) and Part 2 (2011).
