Zur Höll
object description
Located in the heart of Rothenburg ob der Tauber's old town is the Gasthaus zur Höll (Gasthaus of the Höll). It's the oldest house in town, making it a definite hotspot for the many tourists who visit Rothenburg every day. It's included in the official city tour and in every audio or printed city guide. The house was built in 1100 AD and was originally a stable. It was converted into a residential building in the 14th century, and then into an inn in 1963. The building is a listed building and is in very good condition. Its usable space is 171 m². Many structures are still original (e.g., the roof), and the vaulted cellar is a popular dining spot for guests. The restaurant is fully equipped, and the business generates six-figure profits from its evening meals alone.
