October 25, 2026, Oettinger Brewing Kettle Roundabout, Dinkelsbühl

You see a roundabout like this, with a large brewing kettle, in every town. Even in Bavaria, it is a rarity.

The city wall includes five gates with four gate towers (Baldinger Torturm collapsed in 1703), eleven further towers, and two bastions. Construction of the city wall began in 1327 by order of Louis the Bavarian.
