イルムタール＝ヴァインシュトラーセのおすすめランニングルート

Historic location, directly on the cycle path.

The "Eiermann Building" was built in 1938/39 as a fire extinguisher factory according to plans by the later highly renowned architect Egon Eiermann. For this purpose, a textile factory originally built in 1906/07 was expanded and converted into a highly modern industrial building. The large glass windows and the roof terrace with a structure reminiscent of a ship's deck are external features. Eiermann's modern style is also evident inside, although the production of fire extinguishers ceased in 1994. After a long period of inactivity and thanks to the efforts of the Friends of the Eiermann Building, the International Building Exhibition (IBA Thuringia) relocated its headquarters to the Eiermann Building. Following the "Open Factory" concept, the factory building was converted into a space for creative and community-oriented uses. The guiding principle for the construction measures was "How little is enough?" In 2024, the city of Apolda's "temporary museum" was established on the ground floor and first floor. It serves as an alternative location for the Bell and City Museum while its original building in the city center requires renovation. The primary user, however, is the Thuringia Building Culture Foundation, which has also taken over the legacy of the IBA Thuringia and is responsible for continuing the IBA's developments and promoting building culture in the Free State of Thuringia. Events are also regularly held in the hall or on the wonderful roof terrace.

Enter the circuit in the Ilmtal, use the central exit via the stairs on the bridge.

Stay a moment, it's too beautiful.

The Ilm Cycle Path is simply wonderful. Not so crowded and varied.

Apolda Bell and Textile Museum is currently (from May 2025) here.

Fantastic picturesque landscape, idyllic

The path along the Ilm is also a real highlight with children, because here they can splash in the water, throw stones and collect wooden sticks.
