"Der Meistertrunk - The Master Draught"is the core piece of Rothenburg's festivals and festival days.
Back in 1631, as the legend by Adam Hörber says, brave ex-mayor Nusch saved the town from destruction from the troops of bloodthirsty Fieldmarshall Johann Tserclaes, Tilly by emptying a tankard which contained 3.25 litres of wine.
