Guided Story

You're standing on Erfurt's oldest bridge, first mentioned as Liepwinesbrucca in 1108. It runs along Augustinerstraße, crossing the Breitstrom between Michaelisstraße and the Augustinian Monastery. Legend has it that a shepherd named Lehmann built this bridge, giving it its current name. If you look around, you might spot the Nikolai Tower or the Elisabeth Chapel just northeast of here. The bridge quietly links past and present, offering a unique historical connection right here in the heart of the city.
