Theatrum Mundi

In the location's words:

Krämerbrücke is known for its diverse range of stores, although not all of the buildings there have stores. For example, large areas on the first floor of building no. 2 were previously only used as storage rooms, which represented untapped potential.

On the other hand, the number of inquiries to the Krämerbrückenstiftung exceeds the number of available store units.

The Krämerbrückenstiftung, an unincorporated foundation of the city of Erfurt, was established in 1996. Its aim is to preserve the Krämerbrücke as a cultural monument and to promote the use of the bridge buildings for trade, crafts, stores, antique stores, small galleries and museums in order to create an authentic "Krämerbrücken milieu".

House no. 2 has now found a tenant for the newly created retail space. The choice fell on the wood sculptor and doll carver Martin Gobsch, who has already been active on the Krämerbrücke for several years. He recently opened a show workshop, which was officially opened on the first Advent. A special highlight is the "Theatrum Mundi", a mechanical theater with 20 moving figures that can be activated by inserting a coin.
