Vandring

The Whispering Arch at Untermarkt 22 in Görlitz is a magnificent late Gothic portal decorated with elaborate details. Construction of the portal began in 1500, followed by extensions in 1525 and 1726. The Whispering Arch's keel-arch archivolt transmits sound waves so that even quiet words can be heard from one end to the other. Today, the Whispering Arch is one of the city's most visited sights.

Vandring

Adjacent to a castle complex on the high eastern bank of the Neisse, the city of Görlitz was founded around 1220 in the area of today's Untermarkt as a trading center for long-distance traders who exported cloth and the cloth dye woad from Thuringia to Eastern Europe and brought back furs, wax and honey.

Vandring

The original name of this square, first mentioned in 1305, is simply Market. In 1403 the name Niedermarkt appears in the archives. The name Ring, which existed between 1340 and around 1600, probably comes from Silesian. The part north of the Zeile separating the square was also temporarily called the Alter Markt, Fischmarkt or Herringsmarkt.

The country people selling goods mainly stood in the northern part of the square, while the artisans in the southern part. It was not until 1864 that the weekly market moved to Elisabethstrasse.
