Formerly the principal place where woad, wine, wool and wheat were traded in the city, Anger is now Erfurt's main business and retail precinct and is a paradise for shopping enthusiasts.
Boasting the Anger 1 shopping complex with its impressively elegant art nouveau facade, a range of large department stores and international chain stores, not to mention a good variety of specialist shops, this district has got every shopping angle - big or small - covered.
If you make your way westwards, past numerous shop fronts from a variety of architectural eras, and along either Neuwerkstrasse or Regierungsstrasse, you will arrive at the Hirschgarten, one of Erfurt's loveliest public spaces.
