What you can expect

  • Follow the BRÜCKENKRÄMER (Merchant of the Bridge) on his walk through Erfurt's Old Town! Immerse yourself in the medieval alleys and nooks and crannies around Erfurt's 700-year-old Merchants' Bridge.

    Master Schwalbe has sweets and spirits in store for you: Bridge truffles from the “Goldhelm” chocolate manufactory on the Merchants' Bridge and the local clear 40% ABV herbal liqueur from the “Thüringer Spezialitätenmarkt” (Thuringian Specialty Market).

    As you do so, listen to the whimsical tales from old Erfurt: about the rebellious student Martin L., who never missed an opportunity to put his foot in it; about the ax-wielding Apostle Boniface; about the “widely renowned” magician Dr. Faust; about the bigoted indulgence peddler Tetzel; about the “eaten” mayor of Erfurt and the learned donkeys of the Old University; about broad beans and beer holes…

    The tour starts at Erfurt's Fischmarkt (Fish Market) (approx. 1.5 km).
