Erfurt Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

The Erfurt Cathedral (formerly also called Marienkirche or Propsteikirche Beatae Mariae Virginis) is the most important and oldest church building in Erfurt. It is 81.26 m high [1] and, with the Gloriosa, has the largest free-swinging bell in the world from the Middle Ages. The cathedral only served as a bishopric for a short time in the middle of the 8th century and was the seat of the collegiate monastery of St. Mary throughout the Middle Ages until the early 19th century. Since 1994 it has been the cathedral of the newly created diocese of Erfurt and the seat of the cathedral chapter.

Schildgasse

Highlight • Settlement

Like many streets in Erfurt's old town, Schildgasse breathes history. The name is very likely derived from the Schildchenmühle, a former water mill on the Gera river, which was already mentioned in 1199.
Schildgasse is known for its well-preserved historical buildings. The alley features typical Erfurt half-timbered houses from various centuries. Houses number 3 and 4, in particular, are listed buildings and showcase the classic architecture of the region.

Gera River and the Arch Bridge at Gispersleben

Highlight • Bridge

Until 2015, here was the weir Gispersleben. With the project, a river loop was designed on the former power plant site, over which now the height difference is compensated.
