Welcome to Erfurt, a charming city located in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Saxony. This picturesque destination is nestled in Thuringia, Germany, offering visitors a glimpse into its rich history and stunning architecture. One of the highlights is Cathedral Square, where you can find the magnificent Erfurt Cathedral and Severikirche Church perched on Domberg hill. These impressive structures showcase the grandeur of medieval European religious architecture and provide breathtaking views over the city. For those interested in design and art history, Walter Gropius' office is a must-see. Located in the main building of Bauhaus-University Weimar, this space served as Gropius' creative hub back in 1924. It's an inspiring place that reflects his innovative approach to architecture and design. Nature enthusiasts will be delighted by Erfurt's meadows inhabited by graceful Greylag Geese (Anser anser). Watching these majestic creatures standing peacefully amidst nature's beauty is truly captivating. Gotha holds historical significance for Erfurt as it was depicted by His Royal Highness Prince Albert himself in 1845. The detailed drawing showcases Gotha's charm during that era through W. J. Linton's artistic interpretation. To explore more about Erfurt's past, take a look at an antique lithograph from 1897 depicting its city map or Justus Perthes' Australia Map from their 1872 Atlas collection - both fascinating glimpses into geography and cartography during those times. A visit to Wartburg Castle near Eisenach offers insight into Martin Luther's life as you step foot inside his room and see his desk where he translated the Bible. It’s a humbling experience being surrounded by such historical significance within these ancient walls. Art lovers should not miss out on Joost Schmidt’s relief sculpture from 1923 or Oskar Schlemmer’s mesmerizing murals found within the main building of Bauhaus-University Weimar.
