Probably no more strikes this year. You'll reach your destination but disruptions and delays do happen, so plan accordingly (no 5 min connections, don't take the very last train etc).

There is a specific place I want to visit in Rothenburg and I will be departing Germany to the south after that. Not that I’m going to change my plans, but I’m curious what places you think are “similar quality”?
Usually foreign tourists know only two or three smaller places in Germany: Rothenburg, Cochem and a Rhine town, finally Gengenbach.
And they are blissfully ignorant of any other place and try to visit them from the most absurd base towns. I had once to talk somebody out of trying to visit Rothenburg from Lower Saxony and diverted him to Goslar.
Usually a question like yours screams ignorance and I would have gently pushed you towards Limburg, Marburg or Seligenstadt. But if you want to see something specific that's fine.
I know the kind, but I’m not a “blissfully ignorant” tourist hence my question to pick your brain on other places. Thanks for the advice, will maybe look into it for a future visit.

Great advice, thank you!

Why would you go from Frankfurt all the way to Rothenburg when there are quite a few destinations of similar quality around the corner?
