About Angermuseum
The Angermuseum is the first city museum in Erfurt. It was ceremoniously opened on June 27, 1886, and is housed in the building that used to house the public weighing machine in Erfurt am Anger. The scales were necessary at that time so that incoming trade goods could be cleared accordingly. Originally only the gallery on the first floor was used for the museum. The building was built between 1706 and 1711 according to plans by the architect Johann Maximilian von Welsch.Address : Anger 18, 99084 Erfurt, Germany

KrämerbrückeThe Krämerbrücke is the oldest secular building in Erfurt and is one of the most famous landmarks of the city with a double-sided, closed bridge construction with half-timbered houses. It is the longest continuously built bridge in Europe. The pedestrian bridge spans the Gera, known here as Breitstrom, and connects Benediktsplatz in the old town center with Wenigemarkt in the eastern extension of the old town.
FischmarktThe Fischmarkt, or literally in Italian Fish Market Square, is the central square of the city of Erfurt, the capital of Thuringia, Germany. In the Middle Ages, various markets were held here, and slowly the area developed to become the hub and social center of the city. In fact, in 1275 a first Town Hall was built on the eastern side. During 2013 the square was completely restored and pedestrianized.
