Obere Schmiedgasse 13 Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany, 91541 Phone: +49 9861 4801 Website Rothenburg is Germany's most exciting medieval town with thousand years of history packed between its cobbles. Rothenburg has appeared in several films, notably fantasies. It was the inspiration for the village in the 1940 Walt Disney movie Pinocchio. It was the location for the Vulgarian village scenes in the 1968 family movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It is sometimes mistaken as the town at the end of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Haus der 1000 Geschenke (House of a Thousand Gifts) is just that; lots of handmade gifts and souvenirs of the region.

September 12, 2022. Machine embosses without any problems, but it is really difficult to find because the navigation system leads you wrong. The owner is incredibly nice and asks about the quality of the coins. We also took the two golden tokens with us, and everything went smoothly there too. Coin-hunters |
