Dinkelsbühl Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Great historic old town with city walls, towers and a lot of historical buildings.

The White Tower is part of the fortifications of the town of Dinkelsbühl, built after 1372. The four-storey, unplastered stone building with a steep hipped roof was designed as a watchtower. Loopholes testify to its purpose. Planned as a gate to the south, the Jörgensteg now leads into the town from here.

German House (Dinkelsbühl)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Deutsches Haus, originally Drechsel Haus in Dinkelsbühl, is a half-timbered house, essentially from the 15th century with a facade from the late Renaissance 1593/94. It is the ancestral home of the patrician Drechsel family.[1] Today there is a hotel with a restaurant in the house. The German House stands on the Weinmarkt between plastered houses. With its ornate carvings, it is one of the most important town houses of the German Renaissance and sets itself apart from other residential buildings in Dinkelsbühl.

The German House has also made it onto a postage stamp. Look at the picture.

Dinkelsbühl Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

With its romantic half-timbered houses, the massive and completely preserved city wall, the narrow streets and the lively market place Dinkelsbühl seems to have sprung directly from a fairytale movie. No wonder that many different films have been shot here over the years. In the 1960s, even an American film crew was guests, who used the picturesque city as a backdrop for the film "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm".

Weinmarkt (Wine Market), Dinkelsbühl

Highlight • Historical Site

Pure medieval romance awaits you at the Dinkelsbühl wine market with its magnificent gabled houses on the western side of the market.

You stand in front of the corner house with a delicate spire - the former council drinking room from the 16th century. Nearby is the old patrician house, today's “Zur Glocke” inn. Next to it was a granary, a trading post and a dance house. The god of wine, Bacchus, adorns the small hipped roof of the "German House".

Segringer Street and St. George's Minster

Highlight • Historical Site

Through the Segringer Tor you come down the cobblestone to the hall church of St. Georg. There are many beautiful, colorful half-timbered houses to the right and left of the street, simply beautiful to look at.

Dinkelsbühl Town Walls

Highlight • Monument

The city wall of Dinkelsbühl is very well preserved thanks to King Ludwig I of Bavaria. It still has 16 towers and four gates. The first almost circular fortification from the early 13th century can still be seen in today's street structure, but only remains are preserved at the Wörnitztor.

From 1372, in connection with an expansion of the urban area, the construction of the fortification ring began, which is still almost unchanged today. The work continued until the Thirty Years War with a total of 55 towers and gates. It is a closed wall ring with four inner city gates, four abandoned outer city gates, once 22 individually designed watchtowers, 18 kennel stands and bastions of the inner city wall, others on the outer city wall as well as a moat and lined wall. The Dinkelsbühl town mill, which is integrated into the fortification as a fortified mill, is unique.

Today's four city gates are: in the east the Wörnitztor at the Mühlgraben fed by the Wörnitz, in the north the Rothenburger Tor, in the west the Segringer Tor on the road to the neighboring town of Segringen, in the southeast the Nördlinger Tor. The city gates are listed as architectural monuments under separate file numbers.

The following watchtowers are present in the course of the city wall: Dalkinger tower (stump), digestion tower, green tower, Dreikönigsturm, guard tower, Berlin tower, Haymersturm, kebab tower (remains of the base), white tower, hailstorm, Hertlesturm, Krugsturm, salwart tower, two Radstatt towers of the city mill, Am Türlein (stump), Bäuerlinsturm, Henkersturm, Dreigangsturm, Kleine Bastei.

It's so slow... it works. It still has to be economical going downhill.
Pleasurable stroll with joy in the colors. The fine gastronomy also kept us from starving.

A small drop of bitterness is the car parking situation in the city center. Park and Ride - Feelings came up every now and then.

The pious spelt farmer, who harvested spelt grain on his fields, built a small chapel, which he gave away with his farm to passing Carmelite monks.

Dinkelsbühl for the first time and immediately fell in love with this magical old town with the many gate towers (defensive towers) and the completely preserved city wall around the old town, approx. 2.5 km long. Everything was very well preserved and well maintained. You simply feel comfortable here. Many nice cafes invite you to linger. And what there is …
