Tourist Attractions in Dinkelsbuhl

With its completely preserved circuit of walls (14th-15th C.) and its old gabled houses, the old Franconian imperial city of Dinkelsbühl is the very picture of a little medieval town.
Deutsches Haus
In the Dinkelsbühl Weinmarkt, immediately north of the Marktplatz, is the Deutsches Haus, a beautiful half-timbered building of the 16th C. Adjoining it on the right is the old Schranne (Granary), in which the pageant play of the "Kinderzeche" (commemorating an occasion in 1632 when the children of the town, then under siege by the Swedish army, saved it from destruction by begging the Swedes for mercy) is performed every year.

On the high altar can be seen a "Crucifixion" of the school of Hans Pleydenwurff; tabernacle of 1480. In the west tower is a Romanesque doorway (13th C).
