Re: MOOG, Christian / HOFMEISTER, Elisabeth; HES,DEU>WI,USA; 1805-1900 Christina, Rothenburg ob der Tauber is an ancient, walled city. However, it is in Bavaria, not Hesse. There is also a Rottenburg ( an the Neckar River ) in Baden-Wuerttemberg (south of Hesse). There are also castles (and castle walls) in that area; whether around the town, I am not sure. How many documents say it was in Hesse; more than one?
