Dinkelsbühl – Franconia’s best-preserved old town
Dinkelsbühl on the Romantic Road is considered one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Germany. The fully enclosed town walls, the half-timbered houses and St. George’s Cathedral form a unique historical backdrop.
Programme and attractions
The Kinderzeche commemorates the siege of the town during the Thirty Years’ War, when children saved the town through their pleas. The festival features historical parades, theatre performances, the Kinderzeche play, a medieval market and music. The entire old town becomes a stage.
