KEEPING THE CITY ANCIENT
Rothenburo, 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 can travel few miles from
one city to another and II Is as II from
one city to another and 1t Is as II you
had crossed an international boundary
and stepped into 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 inde-
pendent and autonomous for as many
centuries as they have been parts OF
the German empire for decades. They
have built up a tiny nationallsm Pc
culiar to themselves, flavoring their
Germanism with spice that is all
their own.
Such city above all others Is Roth
enburg, little red Rothenburg with Its
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 friendly af-
fection for Rothenburg; 1t is such
homely, comfortable place, with a
neatness and a miniature tessellated
beauty that It 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 one has to be replaced
municipal regulations ordain that II
shall be replaced with one that is built
In ancient style, and blends harmoni-
ously with the whole. The fine disci-
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 n matter Of fact, few tourists
visit Rothenburg.
