2. Kramerbrucke

The Krämerbrücke, or Merchants’ Bridge, is a long and old bridge in Europe and one of the most distinctive architectural elements of Erfurt. Connecting the eastern and western sides of the Old Town over the Breitstrom, the bridge was originally built in 1100 as part of the Via Regia, a trade route that connected the far-flung parts of the Christian world, from Spain to France to Russia. Merchants still ply their wares here today; both sides of the bridge are lined with shops that are perfect for souvenir shopping and learning more about the cultural heritage of Thuringia.

The hill was originally the site of a Benedictine monastery, which was handed over to the military in the 17th century. The structure remains one of few preserved Baroque town fortresses in Europe and is a beautiful entry into the military history of Thuringia.
