Last year, $500 tourists clat-
tered over the towns cobble-
stone streets viewing the quaint
houses, churches, hotels and
shops : many of which were built
before Columbus discovered Ameri-
ca.
It hasn't been easy to keep the
town behind the times. Recently
some citizens suggested that
traffic lights be placed at five
wall gates which are big enough
to admit motor vehicles.
But town fathers quickly re-
jected the idea, figuring it better
to have. a few dented tenders than
to blemish Rothenburg' museum
like charm.
Two gasoline stations have
somehow crept inside the walls
and several taverns have been
converted into noisy affairs that
cater to American soldiers. The
town leaders have been successful
in keeping neon signs out, though.
I'VE are trying to have the town
declared national monument"
says Gustav Luettgens, the towns
director of tourism. This means
we could get financial aid for
preserving everything just as it
is. We hope to make living
museum out of the town"
How did Rothenburg slip through
the centuries largely untouched?
There are three major reasons.
The first came during the
16OOs, when Germany was torn by
the Thirty Years War Rothenburg
was Protestant under the pro-
lection of Sweden's King Gustavus
Adolphus and his armies Catholic
forces under the leadership of
Germany's Field Marshal Count

At surrender ceremony, citi-
zens of Rothenburg got Tilly in
toxicated with the help of large
goblet that contained more than
three liters of wine.
The goblet so entranced Tilly
that he offered to save Rothenburg
from further destruction if a
citizen could empty it without
stopping for breath. Up stepped
the mayor of Rothenburg, a we'll
practiced drinker named Nusch.
He emptied the goblet without
blinking an eye and Rothenburg
was saved.
Once a year citizens of Rothen-
burg don medieval dress and re-
enact Tilly's storming of the town
and the mayors heroic feat.
Rothenburg antiquity was saved
again in the middle 1800s. Rail-
roads were being. built in Germany,
but the town council refused to
allow any line to come near Ro-
thenburg. Years later spur line
was built, but it was too late. other
towns had such head start on
Rothenburg that it just stayed
asleep inside its walls.
Then came World War II. A
British air raid on Easter Sunday
in March 1945 destroyed a portion
of the town. American troops pre-
pared to shell the town, prior to
storming it.
But John ]. McCloy, U. S.
Assistant Secretary for War, hap
pened to be touring the front lines
and ordered that Rothenburg be
spared if possible. The next day
the Germans cooperated and hoist
ed the white flag of surrender, Ro-
thenburg was again saved for his
tory.
