So bright out. I love that she is still smiling.
"Prisoners were left in this tower to rot." (In the guide book)
Not sure about this guy.
So, I guess the story is that during the 30 Years War the Swedish were coming to invade the city and so the towns people gathered together all their children and sent them outside the gates to plead with the army to spare their city. The captain of the Swedish army had just lost a son and felt compassion on the children and so Dinkelsbühl was not invaded. So unlike Rothenburg (which is still amazing) this city was not rebuilt, everything is in it's mostly original state. Every year in July the towns people re-enact this in traditional garb and celebrate. And of course all the children get bags of candy.
Andrew found this on the side of the old church, we thought it was pretty cool. Go Crusades!
One of the entrances to the city.
