The tour begins at Erfurt's Fishmarket.
As you do so, listen to stories from old Erfurt:
About the rebellious student Martin L., who never missed an opportunity to put his foot in his mouth; about the axe-wielding Apostle Boniface; about broad beans; about the city council's master arithmetician Adam Ries and the mischievous Till Eulenspiegel; about the “mayor who was eaten”; or about Doctor Faust: in the darkness of the night, you will experience how he conjured up spirits…
You will enjoy a snack provided by the city official:
Bridge truffles made from Peruvian jungle chocolate from the Goldhelm chocolate manufactory, accompanied by a local clear 40% herbal liqueur.
“We go deeper into the night, deeper into the city… The man with the feather in his hat, the halberd and the lantern seems to become part of the city here; here, the figure of the night watchman merges, as it were, with the wonderful set design. He tells stories, but here it is the city itself that tells them, the silence and the darkness that descends ever more thickly… It is as if history itself were speaking from the darkness, as if it were telling what no guide can tell: the mood, the atmosphere… This night reinforces my conviction: This is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany… “

Erfurt is a city to fall in love with.
