Glass blowing scientific instruments (and glass art) is this town's modern claim to fame. We had a demonstration on board last night, very interesting. They start with Pyrex tubes of various diameters and 1.5m standard length.
Wertheim surrendered to the Americans in Apr 45, an act that saved the town from bombardment and destruction. No doubt the fate of Wurzburg in the night bombing raid two weeks earlier was a major factor. Apparently Wertheim's Nazi mayor wanted to fight, but he was overruled.
