Other locations in Erfurt

On the facade of the "House of the black horn" (Haus zum schwarzen Horn) is the Adam Ries bust. The "math teacher of the nation" who lived from 1513 for about ten years in Erfurt. He should have stayed in the Latin Quarter (near the university). Note: If you look at the Ries bust down, you can see on the sidewalk, a bronze plate that shows an abacus. Those who can handle it, can read the birth year of the math teacher.

Some German town has one (or even several) public barbecues. In Erfurt there is only one in the egapark. Per day you have to pay EUR 20 - not nice. Open 09:00 - 20:00 h.

The Angerturm ("Anger Tower") is a historical traffic monument. It was built in 1961 on Anger, at the intersection Schlösserstraße. 1974 Anger was transformed into a pedestrian zone, the tower was unnecessary and was removed. In the period from 1996 to 2002, the Office of Transportation renovated the tower. Now he stands on the site of Erfurt Transport Services and can be admired.

Since autumn 2011, Erfurt has one of the so-called "open bookcases." The principle is "bookcrossing", i.e. you can take a book, but you should possibly leave some for another. Of course you can also return a book as in the classic library. Unfortunately, the green cell phone, in the open bookcase is housed, no central location, but located in the north of the city. And unfortunately it has remained open even in this single bookcase in our city.

The monument shows the father of the Erfurt horticulture, who was born in 1685 in Erfurt - Christian Reichart. Through him, Erfurt was a center for market gardening (especially cauliflower and watercress are due to his work). He was successful with seed cultivation and trafficking. His idea was copied by several companies in Erfurt.

The Stiftsgasse is from my personal view, one of the nicest alleys in Erfurt (close to the cathedral).

Largest medieval free-swinging bell in the world. The current data to guide and Läuteordnung can be read at the internet.

Here you will find Erfurt Mineralbrunnen. These are so-called artesian wells with natural spring discharge. The water is said to have healing powers, but it tastes salty. The three sources have different salinities. I recommend: cost, but be careful! "Whoever drinks of it will live a long time and won't give a lot of money to the doctor. I friendly invite you! And drink this fine wine!"

* Market Days * Monday to Saturday (the best is Saturday) * Opening times * Monday to Friday from 07:00h and Saturday from 06:30h each to 14:00 clock * Offers * Baked goods, Meat and meat products (including poultry and game) Fish (not only prepare for the home, but also fish sandwiches) Eggs, Cheese, Fruit and vegetables, and much more ... The market, according to a publication in our local newspaper (the "Thüringer Allgemeine"), was found 160 years ago. I can not check, I will believe it gladly. Some dealers sell in their fifth and sixth generation. The rules of conduct laid down in the old regime from 1886. On the Erfurt weekly market on Cathedral Square every Saturday come up to 12,000 customers. At the "Cheese Man" there is official "Erfurt Altstadt cheese" available. It is a round soft cheeses, spicy with red culture medium. Cream stage. 150 g. Price = 3 EUR. Although, unfortunately, is not produced in the region, but tastes very good. And if you maybe already on the way to a picnic on the Petersberg, it's worth taking the cheese. Those who has appetite for meats, I recommended Eichsfelder sausages "Stracke" and "Feldgieker". Be sold to two (or even three?) stands. A vending van comes from Gernrode and one from Leinefelde. Also recommended for picnic's is a cup beef salad from the butcher Hering in Kerspleben.
