Google Maps

In the middle of the old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber lies the Gasthaus zur Höll. It is the oldest house in the city and therefore an absolute hotspot for the many tourists who visit Rothenburg every day. It is part of the official city tour and also of every audio or printed city guide. The house was built in 1100 AD and was initially a stable. It was only converted into a residential building in the 14th century and then into an inn in 1963. The house is a listed building and is in very good condition. The usable area is 171 m². Many buildings are still original (e.g. the roof) and the vaulted cellar is a much sought-after place for guests to eat. The restaurant is fully equipped and the business generates 6-figure profits just from evening meals.

The location :

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is located in "romantic Franconia" and is the region's tourist magnet. The old town is known worldwide. The state statistical office reports a total of 1,792,954 overnight stays for the Romantic Franconia tourist region. The number of overnight stays in 2023 thus exceeded the previous record year of 2019. There were around 185,000 more overnight stays than in 2019. The number of arrivals increased by 14% compared to the previous year and is therefore only slightly below the 2019 result. (Since the two Corona years are not meaningful, the results from 2019 are also used to compare the figures.) The overall result consists of 1,431,711 overnight stays by guests from Germany and 361,243 overnight stays from abroad. The change in the guest structure since the Corona years towards a significantly higher proportion of guests from within the country is still present, but has weakened somewhat in 2023. Fortunately, more guests from abroad could be welcomed again, which benefits the cities in particular, and Rothenburg ob der Tauber in particular.
