KEEPING THE CITY ANCIENT
%Rothenburg, Germany, Requires That
New Buildings Shall Be Built
In Old Style.

There is less sameness, more per.
sonality, to be found among the differ.
ent cities of the German empire than
in any other great modern state.
Often you "a travel a few miles from
one city to another and it Is as If from
n city to another and 1t is as If you
had crossed an international boundary
and stepped into a new land. This
fact Is due in large part to the fact
that German unity came so late. Many
of these same little cities were indie
pendent and autonomous for as many
centuries as they have been parts Of
the German empire for decades. They
have built up a tiny nationalism pc.
culiar to themselves, f1avoring their
Germanism with a spice that Is all
their own.
Such a city above all others is Roth.
enburg, little red Rothenburg, with It's
trim walls and towers, its air of an
cient sleepiness carefully preserved, its
10000 good burghers, who are Rothen-
burgers before all else, says the Ma.
tional Geographic Magazine. Almost
every German cherishes a friendly af.
lection for Rothenburg; 1t is such q
homely, comfortable place, with q
neatness and a miniature tessellated
beauty that 1t is dear to the German
heart.
Rothenburg is a city almost every
house Of which is quaint and interest.
ing. Most of the houses are centuries
old, and when mi has to be replaced
municipal regulations ordain that 1t
shall be replaced with one that is built
in ancient style, and blends harmonl-
ously with the whole. The fine discl-
pline the burghers Of Rothenburg
lay upon themselves out of their own
artistic sense of the fitness of things,
rather than as a bait for the tourists,
for as a matter Of fact, few tourists
visit Rothenburg.
