- Domplatz - Welcome to Erfurt! Begin your journey in one of Germany’s most remarkable medieval locations. The expansive Cathedral Square, offering clear views of the Cathedral and Severi Church, is an ideal starting point.
Inside your city game box, you’ll find 11 numbered folding cards. At each stop, you’ll complete a small task, such as finding a year on a sign, counting items, or spotting a hidden detail. The number you discover will guide you to the next card. This scavenger hunt leads you through the city independently, without the need for an app or guide.
Start by taking out the first card, unfold it, and let the adventure begin!
- Erfurt Cathedral - Perched atop the cathedral hill, the Gothic Cathedral of St. Mary stands as one of Thuringia’s most significant structures. Its exterior captivates with a grand staircase, an impressive facade, and an aura that has endured for centuries. This is where your trail begins. Stay observant and look more closely than most visitors. Here, you’ll tackle your next task.
- St. Severi Kirche - Often overlooked, this church stands beside the cathedral. With its three distinctive towers, the Severi Church is a Gothic masterpiece. It shares tales from the Middle Ages that few know. Here, you’ll complete your next task.
- Fischmarkt - Once the heart of Erfurt’s trade, the fish market remains one of the city’s liveliest squares. Surrounded by stunning Renaissance facades and the notable town hall, you can sense the vibrancy of history. Pause to take it all in. Now, solve your next task here and determine which numbered folding card to open next.
- Historisches Rathaus - The neo-Gothic town hall at Fischmarkt is among Erfurt’s most splendid buildings. Its intricately decorated facade speaks of pride, wealth, and city history. By looking closely, you’ll uncover details easily missed in passing, one of which is crucial for your next task.
- Angerbrunnen - You’ve reached Erfurt’s vibrant center, the Anger. The Anger Fountain marks the heart of this bustling area. Locals and visitors gather here, and everyday life in Erfurt thrives. Take a moment to breathe, observe, and solve the next task before moving on.
- Anger - More than just a shopping street, Erfurt’s main thoroughfare reveals historic buildings and hidden details beyond modern storefronts. Today, you’re here not just for shopping, but to find something specific. Keep your eyes open!
- Kramerbruecke - As Erfurt’s emblem and one of Europe’s oldest continuously built bridges, it features narrow houses, ancient arches, and the gentle murmur of the Gera below. This shopping bridge is a captivating place. Pause and then search for what your card instructs.
- Kaufmannskirche - City Museum & Merchant’s Church: Two locations, one stop, both rich in stories. The city museum in the historic Haus zum Stockfisch preserves over 1,275 years of Erfurt’s history. Nearby, the Kaufmannskirche am Anger, one of the city’s oldest parish churches, once served Frisian merchants and even Martin Luther as a preaching site. Look around, as your next task awaits here.
