Rothenburg is pronounced...Rowt-hen-burg. The h sound is light, just remember that in German every letter in the word is pronounced. By the way Rothenburg is in Bayern (Bavaria) and its full name is Rothenburg ob die Tauber or just Rothenburg o.d.T.
Okay...so I got the words mixed up...rivers are masculine can be confusing with all the die, der, u. das stuff and yes the 'h' is pronounced just like the P in Pfeif. There are no silent letters in German, the 'g' is a hard 'g'.

@ germanada
It's called 'Rothenburg ob der Tauber'!!!
You actually pronounce the 'R' in the back of your throat, as if you would gargle.
The 'h' is not pronounced. It's only the 't'.
Burg, pronounced like 'boork'

If your last name is Rothen or Roten, the 'o' is pronounced like 'sew' and 'then' or 'ten' is pronounced like the English word 'ten.'
You forgot to put your last name, though, so I'm guessing on what it is...

There is no such thing as th in the German language, so it is:
Row-tin-boorg
