Overview

  • Leave the medieval architecture of Erfurt behind and discover the true, pulsating heart of the city: a centuries-old horticultural empire. Accompany Lukas, a sociologist and historian, and Julia, a curious local, on an exciting journey through time. From the ingenious cress canals of the 18th century to the industrial seed empires that already supplied Gregor Mendel, to the intimate retreat of the allotment gardens and a modernist utopia from the Cold War. This is the story of how seeds, earth, and springs have shaped the soul of a city.
