Nördlingen is a former Free Imperial City on the “Romantic Road”. This walled city has a peculiarity: its circular wall is the centre of a meteorite impact crater. Known as the Nördlinger Ries, the impact happened 15 million years ago, leaving a 25 km diameter wide crater and about 72 thousand tonnes of micro-diamonds scattered around the region. The town was the location of the battles during the Thirty Years' War. Admire the major attraction of the city - St. George's Church also known as “Daniel”. Discover the notable buildings of the town hall, which dates back to the 13th century. Immerse yourself in a historic old town and explore Germany's only completely preserved and accessible city wall, the market square with its imposing buildings, the Warrior fountain, and the medieval alleys and streets of the former Free Imperial City.
