The "Big Hearth House" (Zum Breiten Herd), built in the 15th century, is considered one of the most beautiful houses in Erfurt. The building is decorated with allegorical figures and images, which, according to the architects of the Renaissance, scared away evil spirits. The lower frieze depicts five senses: a woman with a mirror - sight, a girl with a lute - hearing, a lady with flowers - smell, a beauty with fruit and a glass in her hand - taste, and a woman with a bird - touch.

Address: Fischmarkt. By the way, in Erfurt, almost all old houses have not only numbers, but also personal names.
