Warehouse Buildings Waagegasse Erfurt

The Speicher is one of my favorite places in Erfurt. There is a café/bar in the historic building. You can sip a coffee or a glass of wine inside or in the courtyard in a historic atmosphere.

Opposite the house at Allerheiligenstrasse 8 "Zum güldenen Sternberg" (1519), the Waagegasse opens with a long front of stately three-storey warehouse buildings (16th and 17th centuries) in half-timbered construction. These were warehouses for goods that had to be offered for sale during transport through Erfurt according to the staple right (granted to the city by Charlemagne in 805). The Waagegasse in Erfurt bends several times along its course and the entrances to the warehouses are arranged in such a way that the often multi-horsed wagons could enter without difficulty. Today, most of the warehouses house workshops and monument preservation. thueringen.info/erfurt-waagegasse.html

The warehouse is centrally located in the middle of the old town of Erfurt. The ambience is a mixture of bar, gallery and event location, a space for everyone. Regardless of whether you are looking for a location in the afternoon to have a coffee with friends and enjoy a piece of homemade cake or whether you want to spend a relaxing evening in the candlelight with a great program and delicious drinks, the Speicher offers a wide range of possibilities. When the weather is nice, you can sit comfortably outside in the backyard and sip your drink. But there are also plenty of places to sit inside the building. If there are no seats available on the ground floor, there are additional seats on the second floor. Smoking is allowed everywhere. From a wide range of beer, wine, coffee, tea and soft drinks to homemade cakes, everything is on offer to please the visitor. However, it is usual for visitors to pick up their drinks themselves at the counter. A chance to engage in interesting conversations, meet new people and keep prices low
