A moment of shock on August 9, 2023: Flames and a massive column of smoke emerge from one of the city's landmarks, the Nördlingen Gate Tower. The fire was presumably caused by a technical defect. The fire brigade quickly got the fire under control. However, rooms in the museum were destroyed.

It seems as if time has stood still in Dinkelsbühl: signs and shop names are written in Old German script. You'll look in vain for advertising spaces or architectural blunders in Dinkelsbühl. The small town is a small Gesamtkunstwerk – we notice this immediately as we stroll through the alleys after our arrival. Source: https://www.sommertage.com/dinkelsbuehl-tipps/
