Krämerbrücke

The Krämerbrücke, also known as the Merchants' Bridge, is a medieval arch bridge in Erfurt, Germany, lined with half-timbered shops and houses on both sides of a cobblestone street. It is one of the few remaining bridges in the world that have inhabited buildings and has been continuously inhabited for over 500 years. The bridge spans the Breitstrom, a branch of the Gera River, and connects two town squares – Benediktsplatz and Wenigemarkt. The bridge is home to 32 half-timbered houses, each with its own unique character, and offers a variety of shops, galleries, and cafes. Visitors can explore the bridge's cellars, which were once used by merchants to store their goods, and enjoy the lively atmosphere of this historic landmark
