I would strongly suggest renting a car. You could spend half a day or more getting there by train. It is an easy drive.

I really wouldn't know how else to get there other than by car. Fastest train connection is 2 1/2 hours, average train connection 3:15hrs. The drive is just 90 minutes. Plus when you drive you could stop at Wertheim Village, one of the countries leading shopping outlet centers.

If you leave from Frankfurt you are going to have to connect 3 times to get to Rothenburg. It is a fun journey- but with a limited amount of time you may consider renting a vehicle.
