Is it true that all citizens of Rothenburg are deaf?

No.
How do you come up with that idea ?
Because it is called Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and your dictionary tells you that Tauber is the German word of a deaf person ?
In this case Tauber is a river.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber means Rothenburg oberhalb der Tauber which in English would be: Rothenburg above the Tauber.

More info on Rothenburg can be found via the link below

LOL

Partly yes, but it's not that they live "Ob der Tauber" ("taub" means "deaf" in German, for all those not so familiar with the language). In Rothenburg, and in many small medieval cities in Germany,common culture is very traditional, and elderly people are, although good at hearing, very foreigner-unfriendly and unwilling to understand foreign dialects or languages, which MIGHT appear to foreigners as if they were deaf, but in fact, they aren't. There is an easy way to check if a granny walks in front of you or blocks a supermarket aisle and to check for her deafness: Use a thing that's known in German as a "Schiedsrichterpfeife", a soccer referee's whistle. Blow it gently: If Granny jumps, her hearing is excellent.


Sarah
No, I live in Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Im not deaf. I live here since 2000. It is a little town and here are not many deaf people. I now an old lady whos deaf but she lives in a village near Rothenburg.
bye


Bernd L
Not only deaf.
Some are deaf, some are blind, some are dumb.
None of them is as stupid as your question.

There are not more deaf citizens in Rotenburg than in every other city all over the world.


Dickless Rick
Yes of course and I think that shouldn't be a problem. Since I am from Vermont like you Rick, Wildstar, Wulf, Diane, Roy etc.pp. I know the problems we got here at home so we shouldn't make fun about others.
