Gerlachschmiede

"After passing under the Rödertor, you’ll come face-to-face with this quaint old house first built on Wenggasse in 1469. The Gerlachschmiede is an old forge with a cute triangular gable on a porch held up by wooden beams. This was one of many buildings in the southeastern part of Rothenburg to be lost in a bombing raid in March 1945, but was faithfully rebuilt by 1948. A blacksmith continued to work here, making horseshoes, until 1967. On the street sign you can see the hammer and tongs of the locksmith and blacksmith guild, while the eye-catching coat of arms on the gable is a new design from 1950."

"Ein malerisches Fachwerkhaus am Ende der Galgengasse, das nach einem Bombenangriff im Zweiten Weltkrieg wieder originalgetreu aufgebaut wurde. Es zeigt die typische Architektur Rothenburgs und ist ein beliebtes Fotomotiv."
