In 1142, Konrad von Hohenstaufen, who became Konrad III (113852) the Roman-German King,traded a part of the monastery Neumnster in
Wrzburg above the village Detwang and built the Stauffer-Castle Rothenburg on this cheaper land. He held court there and appointed reeves
as caretaker.
In 1170 the City of Rothenburg was founded at the time of the building of Staufer castle. The centre was the market Place and St. James
Church (in German: the St. Jakob). The development of the oldest fortification can be seen: the old cellar / old moat and the milk market. Walls
and towers were built in the 13th century. Preserved are the White Tower and the Markus Tower with the Rder Arch.
From 1194 to 1254, the representatives of the Staufer dynasty governed the area around Rothenburg. Around this time the Order of St.
John and other orders were founded near St. James Chruch and a Dominican nunnery (1258)
From 1241 to 1242, The Staufer Imperial tax statistics recorded the names of the Jews in Rothenburg. Rabbi Meir Ben Baruch of
Rothenburg (died 1293, buried 1307 in Worms) had a great reputation as a jurist in Europe. His descendants include members of the dynastic
family von Rothberg, noteworthy in that they were accorded noble status in the 19-th century, becoming the hereditary Counts of Rothberg, later
taking up residence in the city of Berlin where they were well known as jewelers until the 1930s. Most members of the family disappeared and
are presumed to have been killed during the Second World War. Several of the von Rothbergs were laid to rest in a crypt located in the
Weiensee Cemetery, while two members immigrated to the United States during the Second World War. The family is survived by its last living
descendant, Andrew Sandilands Graf von Rothberg (b. 1972), who resides in the United States.
In 1274 Rothenburg was accorded privileges by King Rudolf of Habsburg as an imperial city. Three famous fairs were established in the
city and in the following centuries the city expanded. The citizens of the city and the Knights of the Hinterland build the Franziskaner (Franciscan)
Monastery and the Holy Ghost Hospital (1376/78 incorporated into the city walls). The German Order began the building of St. James Church,
which the citizens have used since 1336. The Heilig Blut (Holy Blood) pilgrimage attracted many pilgrims to Rothenburg, at the time one of the
20 largest cities of the Holy Roman Empire. The population was around 5,500 people within the city walls and another 14,000 in the 150 square
miles (390 km2) of surrounding territory.
The Staufer castle was destroyed by an earthquake in 1356, the St. Blaise Chapel is the last remnant today.
In October 1631, during the Thirty Years War, the Catholic Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly, wanted to quarter his 40,000 troops in
Protestant Lutheran Rothenburg. Rather than allow entrance, the town defended itself and intended to withstand a siege. However, Tillys troops
quickly defeated Rothenburg, losing only 300 soldiers. After the winter they left the town poor and nearly empty, and in 1634 the Black Death
killed many more. Without any money or power, Rothenburg stopped growing thus preserving its 17th century state.
