Plönlein

Germany / Bayern / Rothenburg / Plönlein
 square, historic site

One of the most famous postcard images from Rothenburg ob der Tauber is definitely the Plönlein. A narrow half-timbered building with a small fountain in front, it is framed by the Kobolzeller tower and the higher Siebers Tower, with lovingly restored townhouses to the right and left, creating a charmingly picturesque effect.

The word “Plönlein” derives from the Latin “planum” meaning “flat square”.
