About Rothenburg Museum

Located in the former Convent of St. Clare, Rothenburg Museum occupies a historic complex in the heart of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, in the Klosterhof. The site combines monastic architecture with a museum presentation devoted to the history of the city and its heritage collections, in a setting directly linked to the religious and urban past of the site.

The museum displays objects and documents that shed light on life in Rothenburg ob der Tauber through the centuries. Visitors can explore collections related to local history, religious art, and everyday life, in spaces that retain the atmosphere of a former convent.

The visit highlights both the historical character of the building and the collections it houses. The rooms show how the convent was repurposed into a museum, while preserving traces of its original layout and its place in the old town.

Rothenburg Museum stands out for combining a preserved monastic site with an exhibition dedicated to the memory of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Altogether, it offers a concrete view of the city’s heritage, between architecture, historic objects, and local history.
