Gasthof zur Traube176 viewsThe Gasthof zur Traube is located near the center of town and is currently run by Edgar Rittger and his wife Gisela. I had two huge Bratwursts for lunch there and returned a few days later for Weiner Schnitzel. The Traube is deceivingly large as there as it includes several table indoors and outdoors as well as a large room where we had our family reunion.

Rathaus142 viewsI visited the Rathaus with my cousin Herbert. We were lucky to visit it on the one day of the week which it was open in the summer. We were even luckier as the town treasurer was in his office - Helmuth Rittger. Helmuth gave me a number of gifts including a history book of Kleinwallstadt, a ceramic plaque and plate and a bag full of information about the town and the surrounding area.
