24 hours in Erfurt

As alluded to in my previous post, I made a short trip to Erfurt. Here are some pictures from this pretty historical city.


The main city square is dominated by these two towering churches.


I don't know what this museum's about, but was afraid to go in. :) Actually, Anger is the name of the street this building is on, and may well be the name of the neighbourhood as well. So this could be a history museum of some sort. Wish my German is better.


Nice park benches


Various characters from a popular local children's TV show are installed all over the city. Apparently this bread loaf is the main character.


Pretty street with old houses and shops on both sides . . .


and it's a bridge as well! I was told this is the longest bridge street in Europe.

Erfurt is a really pretty city. Martin Luther also spent a lot of time here and in the surrounding area. Unfortunately I didn't have time to visit any of those places. Next time . . .

Hi Eddie, to complete your German Knowledge:-) Anger means normally a place near of a meadow. The museum was about arts / paintings from Thüringen:-)
So if you made it to Erfurt, next time make it to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern for visit:-))
cheers,
