The Shopkeeper's Bridge is an exclusive attraction in Erfurt. The bridge is 120 meters long and is the longest built-up bridge in Europe. Today in the houses on the bridge Kr? merbr? cke there are souvenir shops and antique shops.
A bit of history Kr? merbr? cke. A wooden bridge stood on this site already in the 11th century. But after numerous fires, in the 13th century the wooden bridge was replaced with a stone version. Initially, there were 64 houses on the bridge, but as the buildings were enlarged, their number was reduced to 32. Previously, two churches of the 13th century were located on both sides of the bridge. Unfortunately, only the church of St. Egidia (Agidienkirche) has survived to this day.
