Teo, Look it up on the DB (German Railways) website: https://www.bahn.com/en/view/index.shtml
You need to specify a date (some trains don't run on Sundays). The first train tomorrow is 04:45:
Station arrive/depart time platform number train ID
Rothenburg ob der Tauber dep 04:45 1 RB 58880
Steinach(b Rothenburg ob der Tauber) arr 04:59 5
Transfer time 14 min.
Steinach(b Rothenburg ob der Tauber) dep 05:13 3 RB 58139
Treuchtlingen arr 06:09 7
Transfer time 13 min.
Treuchtlingen dep 06:22 5 IC 2087 [High demand expected]
München Hbf arr 07:45 14
If that is too early, lots of later trains.

Teo, did the answer above give you what you needed? Do you want that 4:45 train, or did you not mean quite so early when you said "earliest train"?

And use the correct spelling: it is Rothenburg.

Transfer times of 13 and 14 minutes are very doable..but what about some of the regional trains with transfer times of 4 minutes?
I have two of those short, 4 min., transfer times for September from Rothenburg ob der Tauber to Munich. Adjacent tracks are not a problem for 4 minute times but what about from platform 5 to 3 at Steinach. From 7 to 6 at Treuchtlingen seems possible in 4 minutes.
Any thoughts of this?

The Steinach station is tiny and 4 min is the regular transfer time there (track 5 to track 3 is a transfer of one platform, so you will have to cover approx. 50 meters. In Treuchtlingen it's a same platform transfer. You can find an outline of the Steinach station here and of the Treuchtlingen station here (scroll down to see the maps; "Gleis" is German for "track"). Steinach has only conveyor belts, Treuchtlingen has elevators.

Thank you for the links to the station maps and information. I have made those connections before but it has been a long time and I have forgotten the layout plus I was much younger then and traveling alone so could move a little faster. Being able to picture the layout in my mind ahead of time is great help. Vielen Dank
