The story goes that in 1631, during the Thirty Years War, Rothenburg, was about to be overrun by a Catholic army. Just before the carnage was to begin, the Catholic general offered a deal. If anyone could drink a three-liter jug of wine in one gulp, the town would be spared. Rothenburg's mayor grabbed the jug, chugged the wine in one gulp, and slept for three days while the town rejoiced. This Meistertrunk moment is immortalized in the clock on the Councilors' Tavern on the Marktplatz. Several times a day, crowds gather to watch the clock's figures reenact Mayor Nusch's sacrificial gulp for his people.
