Hotel Gotisches Haus was built in the 13th century and served the Franciscan monks as a bread house. In the cellar they stored the wine. The renovations of the hotel preserved the costly treasures and all that makes it a protected monument.

In 1474 emperor Friedrich and four advisors visited Rothenburg and stayed in two adjoining buildings on Herrngasse, numbers 15 and 13. The houses were located near the Franziskaner monastery and the medieval cattle market. Number 13, the Hotel Gotisches Haus was then known as the Thomas Mayrin Haus. This event is recorded on the bronze plate found today on house number 15. Subsequently, the son of the Roman Emerpor, Crown prince Maximilius of Austria later to become emperor lived in the houses together with his staff and servants.
