    You'll find pottery shops here and there in Görlitz. This one is so special because you can watch the craftsman manufacture the pottery. It is fascinating to see the process of forming, burning and painting.

    There is a reason that the picture doesn't show some pottery. The house itself is worth visiting. The cellars were built in medieval times (on the picture remains of a jewish ritual bath), the three-floor townhouse was rebuilt in 1717 after a fire. The ambience of the vaulted rooms on the ground floor is just perfect for a pottery.

    all sorts of pottery

    You can get a good souvenir for 10 Euro, or you can buy a set for considerably more :-)

  • Address: Nikolaistrasse 8
  • Directions: The shop is to find in the Nikolaistrasse, right between St. Peter church and Nikolai tower. It is a small old townhouse on the right side of the street (cannot recall the name, sorry). There is only one in the (short) street, you cannot miss it.

    The heart of the medieval city was the Untermarkt which features Late Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque buildings and offers a glimpse into what the life of the merchants were in Görlitz heyday from 1480-1547.

    Today, many of the buildings are shops and cafes offering everything from postcards to local dishes. Saxony is noted for white wine so why not pick up a bottle while here too.

    Though perhaps not as impressive as the Untermarkt, the Obermarkt is no ugly duckling with numerous Baroque facades and a fountain noted for its water sprouting figures.

    No, I am NOT kidding!

    The building where you find the department store of Karstadt chain today is the only one originally preserved department store of Jugendstil architecture in Germany, built in 1912/13.

    Very impressive is the gorgeous hall with stained-glass dome.

    Nothing special, it is just an ordinary department store :-(
