Otto Ferdinand Probst

                                                    Color etching by Otto F. Probst

                                                                  Signed in pencil.


Otto Ferdinand Probst (1865-1923) was a German illustrator, painter, and architect. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, is well known for his architectural etchings.

The name "Rothenburg ob der Tauber" means, in German, "Red fortress above the Tauber". This is so because the town is located on a plateau overlooking the Tauber River. As to the name "Rothenburg", some say it comes from the German words rot (red) and burg (burgh, medieval fortified settlement), referring to the red color of the roofs of the houses which overlook the river./wiki/.
