Long Bridge Erfurt
A place to fall in love with
Proximity to the old town
A place like the KÖ in Düsseldorf, where people drive up to shops like this in luxury cars, is unlikely to be found in Erfurt. Of course, a fancy automobile can be driven through Futterstrasse to the Wenigemarkt. There is also the chance of admiring glances. But when you return via Meienbergstrasse, it becomes clear that upscale shops cannot be reached that way. But if you're willing to give up your car and add some originality to your luxury, you'll find that extra bit of shopping on the Long Bridge.
The practical thing about this Erfurt shopping mile is its proximity to the old town. The Long Bridge is located a few minutes' walk from Cathedral Square as part of the historic city center.
This shopping mile is not a bridge, but a street with two bridges. Since the Gera often branches in the city center of Erfurt and has many names, it should be mentioned here that these bridges cross the Walkstrom and the Bergstrom.
But back on the road. The development forms the basis for the special flair of the Long Bridge.
The special becomes special
Mystical reliefs from days long past can often still be found on the facades.
It is the spirit of another time that creates the charm of many shops. At least from the outside.
Inside, the zeitgeist often shows its positive side. Anyone who runs a business on the Long Bridge obviously puts more thought into how something special becomes special. And so, from the restaurant to the clothing store to the wine shop, you can almost always find goods and services for special needs in a pleasant atmosphere.
There is a lively atmosphere with almost no car traffic: the middle of the Long Bridge is closed to cars and only serves as a parking lot for a few motorists, mostly residents.
Conclusion
The Long Bridge is a beautiful part of the old town. With the nearby Nonnengasse , the Arche and the Hirschgarten , it is worth a visit. Anyone looking for a special shopping experience in such surroundings often falls in love here, as our final photo shows:
