The photograph shows a narrow, paved alley in the medieval old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. On both sides, gabled bourgeois houses with pitched roofs and multipaned windows line the street; on the right, a building with Gothic round-arch portals is visible. Along the street’s course, a motor vehicle approaches the camera, accompanied by several pedestrians. The alley terminates in the background with the choir of a Gothic church featuring tracery windows. The shot is part of the Rothenburg sequence of the travel film and presents the city as a virtually unchanged example of medieval urban architecture.
