FYI
Dinkelsb hl (Dinosaur) is an historic city in Bavaria, Germany and a former Free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire. Now it belongs to the district of Ansbach, north of Aalen.
History
Fortified by the emperor Henry V, Dinkelsb hl received in 1305 the same municipal rights as Ulm, and obtained in 1351 the position of a Free Imperial City. Its municipal code, the Dinkelsb OEhler Recht, published in 1536, and revised in 1738, contained a very extensive collection of public and private laws.
Reformation
During the Protestant Reformation, Dinkelsb hl was notable for being eventually along only with Ravensburg, Augsburg and Biberach an der Ri Ÿ a Mixed Imperial City (German: Parit tische Reichsstadt) where the Peace of Westphalia caused the establishment of a joint Catholic Protestant government and administrative system, with equality offices (German: Gleichberechtigung) and a precise and equal distribution between Catholic and Protestant civic officials. This status ended in 1802, when these cities were annexed by the Kingdom of Bavaria.
Around 1534 the majority of the population of Dinkelsb hl became Protestant.
Thirty Years War
Every summer Dinkelsb hl celebrates the city's surrender to Swedish Troops during the Thirty Years' War. This reenactment is played out by many of the town's residents. It features a whole array of Swedish troops attacking the city gate and children dressed in traditional garb coming to witness the event. Paper cones full of chocolate and candy are given as gifts to children. This historical event is called the "Kinderzeche" and can in some aspects be compared with the "Meistertrunk" in Rothenburg. The name is derived from the German word for "child", and is called such because of the legend that a child saved the town from massacre by the Swedish Troops during the surrender. The legend tells that when the Swedish army besieged the town, a teenage girl took the children for begging the general for mercy. The Swedish general had recently lost his young son to illness, and a boy who approached him so closely resembled his own son that he decided to spare the town.
The World Wars
Remarkably, Dinkelsb hl remained totally unscathed, except for a broken window in St. George's Minster.
Present day
The film, The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm (1962), was filmed on location in Dinkelsb hl.
Main sights
Dinkelsb hl is still surrounded by the old medieval walls and towers. There exist a lot of outstanding attractions. The image of this town is very typical for a German town of the 15th to early 17th century.
