Merchants' Bridge
One of Erfurt’s landmarks is the Krämerbrücke, the longest bridge in Europe that is continuously lined with houses and inhabited.
The Krämerbrücke is Erfurt’s most interesting secular structure. It was initially built as a wooden half-timbered bridge and rebuilt in stone in 1325. Originally, the 120-meter-long Krämerbrücke was lined with 62 narrow houses, which were later consolidated into 32 houses. Of the two former bridgehead churches at either end of the bridge, only the eastern Ägidienkirche still stands today (impressive view from the tower, Tue.–Sun. 11 a.m.–5 p.m.).
The Krämerbrücke is home to galleries and small shops offering Thuringian blue-printed fabrics, hand-painted ceramics, Lauscha glass, jewelry, wood carvings, and regional delicacies—including Unstrut wines—that invite visitors to linger and discover the area’s history.
