Nördlingen, Bavaria? Hey guys, here is some "official" stuff: http://www.noerdlingen.de/ISY/index.php?get=276

If you go there to visit the place, you will be fascinated! There is a guy on the so-called "Daniel" church tower shouting out some few old words every evening at the full hour, and if you climb the "Daniel" at daytime you will be rewarded by a good view of the Ries crater rim on clear days.

And, of course, don´t forget to visit the Rieskrater museum right there in town - very nice!
