%B%CB%S4Konditorei Striffler: Schneeballen / Snowballs

  • Name of Shop: Konditorei Striffler

    Konditorei Striffler was the 1st bakery in Rothenburg, that started to produce these cakes back in the year 1925. Snowballs are still produced freshly every day there. BUT be careful, before buying a large number of them, they are really hard and need some tricks to be eaten. I had one with just cinnemon and sugar, and it was quite hard work to break out smaller parts, I could eat. Those snowballs, covered with chocolate will get you terribly sticky fingers...

    What To Buy: Schneeballen (Snowballs) are a traditional desert of the area and you may see them in almost any Konditorei / Confectionery in Rothenburg ob der Tauber . The principal of such a snowball are wide stripes of a special - quite hard dough consisting of plenty of eggs, cream and plum-brandy - and many of such stripes will be gathered in the shape of a snowball before baking them. Click on my link below and learn more about it on the webpage of that Konditorei Striffler, you may even order Schneeballen there online...

    What To Pay: Schneeballen are about 1,80 Euro each for the size on my picture

    %B%CB%S4Various shops all over Rothenburg: Terracotta Replicas of the lovely houses

  • Name of Shop: Various shops all over Rothenburg

    Plenty of shops all over Rothenburg offer such buildings and , because so many tourists from Japan and USA will come to Rothenburg, you may also get your purchase sent home by mail.

    What To Buy: When you click on my picture, you may see a big choice of small replicas of the famous buildings of Rothenburg ob der Tauber . Most of these houses may be lighted from inside and make a great decoration at home.

    What To Pay: The price depends of course on the size and I saw nice ones alraedy for around 40 Euros.

  • Name of Shop: Ritterruestungen & Schwerter

    This shop in Herrengasse 12 was the best one that I saw in Rothenburg, where you may buy an iron armoury. B.t.w. the one on my picture is 1290 Euros, and I am not even sure that this is a confortable one...
    The shop is open Monday-Friday :
    09.00a.m.-12.00noon + 02.00p.m.-06.00p.m.
    Saturday 09.00a.m. - 04.00p.m.
    and even on sunday : 11.00a.m. - 04.00p.m.


    What To Buy: They have quite a good choice of iron amouries, similar shop I saw so far only in Prague.

    What To Pay: 1290 Euros for the big iron armouy on my picture.

     I also made it to this point and saw the great view. Well worth the effort to reach this point. Rothenburg is my favorite German city!!!

     Wow, this takes me back. My husband & I were in Germany last October. It was my 3rd trip & his 1st to Germany. He was working there & a one day trip to this little town was about all the sight-seeing he got to do. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

     Wow, after seeing your photos I realize I missed going inside the buildings and churches.
    Kuznetsov_Sergey Wed Feb 28, 2007 16:29 UTC
     How could I skip this beautiful town passing it by? Now I know that this purl of Romantishe Strasse would be in my wish Bavarian list. But not this year: SV BSZS will be held in Braunshweig - too far. Thanks a lot Michael - great job as usual!
