Rottenberg, Germany August 29

 

On Wednesday, we were picked up at the dock by a business acquaintance of Bill’s (Eileen, Duane’s sister’s husband).  Kai, his son Bjorn and daughter Kerin came to get us and take us to their home in Freudenstadt.  On the way there, we stopped in Rottenberg.  It is a town with a wall that totally surrounds the town and even though it is reconstructed, it is beautiful.

    

    People donated the money to rebuild the wall and received recognition on the wall itself.  Ellen McCloy, from the USA was one who donated enough money to reconstruct 1 meter of the wall.

We went to a museum of crimes, actually a torture museum.  Luckily they did not allow pictures inside.  This is a patty wagon on the outside.
