Dinkelsbühl, Medieval walled town in Ansbach, Germany

The urban center maintains its original defensive walls and towers from the 15th century, connecting to narrow cobblestone streets and traditional timber houses.

The settlement received municipal rights in 1305 from Emperor Henry V and became a Free Imperial City by 1351, establishing itself as a major trade center.

The annual Kinderzeche festival recreates the 1632 surrender to Swedish forces through performances where local children wear traditional regional clothing and receive sweets.

The nearest railway stations are located in Crailsheim at 22 kilometers and Ansbach at 42 kilometers, with regular bus connections serving both destinations.

The town stands at the intersection of two medieval trade routes, connecting Germany to Italy north-south and the Rhine region to Eastern Europe west-east.
