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.

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.

Hiking

The sub-market is clearly preferable to the upper one, since it is traffic-calmed there! Traffic at the Obermarkt is fierce
