Krämerbrücke by evona
The very interesting example of secular architecture in Erfurt is Merchants? Bridge (The Krämerbrücke). This is an arched stone bridge over the Gera river and it was constructed in 1325 like a part of "via regia" trading route: Kiev - Wroclaw - Erfurt - Frankfurt am Main. In its place was in year 1117 a former wooden bridge. Very interesting is that this bridge is the only example for a bridge consisting of houses north of the Alps mountain. The restored group of houses is dating from the 15th to 19th century. In the houses are now art galleries and crafts, souvenirs, antiques, music and wine shops. On the end of this bridge you can see the Ägidienkirche. From the tower of this church can you admire the great panorama of Erfurt. This is the longest bridge of Europe, wich have houses along its entire length.
