One of the landmarks of the city of Erfurt is the Krämerbrücke, the longest continuously built and inhabited bridge in Europe. The Krämerbrücke is Erfurt's most interesting secular building, it was first built in wood and then in stone in 1325. Originally, the 120 m long Krämerbrücke was built with 62 narrow houses, which were later reduced to 32 houses. Of the two former bridgehead churches at either end of the bridge, the eastern Ägidienkirche still exists today (impressive tower view, Tue-Sun 11am-5pm). There are galleries and shops on the Krämerbrücke with Thuringian blue prints, hand-painted ceramics, Lauscha glass, jewelry, wood carvings and Unstrut wines, among other things, which invite you to linger and discover the history.
