Closest Airport is Nuremberg (NUE), but there are no intercontinental flights to Nuremberg.
Next close is Stuttgart Airport (STR). Delta Airlines flies from Atlanta to Stuttgart.
But the best train connection - as it was already said before - is from Frankfurt Airport (FRA).
DB timetable

From: FRA Airport
From: MUC Airport
From: STR Airport
From: NUE Airport
To: Rothenburg ob der Tauber
The cheapest connection is from Munich Airport (MUC) if you use the Bavaria Ticket for this trip. The Bavaria Ticket is valid one day for all local public transport in the state Bavaria. The mini group version for 2-5 persons is EUR 25,00. On weekdays it is however only valid past 9am. To find appopriate connections select at the DB timetable as means of transport "only local transport". The limitation to local trains is of no big disadvantage on this route. Travel time will be 4-5 hours.
Rothenburg, Nuremberg and Munich are all in Bavaria.
Rothenburg even in the public transport network of the Greater Nuremberg region VGN.

Between Rothenburg and Nuremberg you can use a TagesTicket Plus (EUR 13,70). This is a day ticket covers (like the Bavaria Ticket) all local public transport, i.e. the for 1-6 persons, but only 2 of them must be older than 18 years. Such a tickettrip from any train/U-Bahn/tram/bus stop in Nuremberg to any train/bus stop in Rothenburg.
