Kaufmannskirche

The Kaufmannskirche stands at the north end of Anger square, featuring Gothic architecture with pointed arches and ribbed vaults throughout its structure.

After the destruction by fire in 1291, builders completed the current Gothic structure by 1368, adding late-Renaissance interior elements between 1598 and 1625.

The church holds significance as the location where Johann Sebastian Bach's parents married in 1668, marking its connection to German musical heritage.

Visitors can access the church through its central location in Erfurt's old town, near other historical structures like the Krämerbrücke and Cathedral.

The church contains a 7-meter-high pulpit from 1598 created by the Friedemann brothers, displaying Protestant doctrines through detailed relief work.
