Erfurt

Erfurt was a city the was truly impressive city. Not only for its history, but for its architecture as well. The most impressive thing for me personally was the Cathedral. This was unlike anything I have ever seen. The pure size and precision of the Cathedral and the Church's construction was incredible. I also found the wise and foolish virgins outside the Church to be really cool. I wasn't completely sure of their meaning, but it was a very cool sight. Also, the alter in the Cathedral was something incredible. It was easily double the size

I was surprise by the pure size of the city, as I found it impossible to take everything in during only one day. I also found it to be very interesting that Martin Luther considered it his 'Spiritual home town'. I also really enjoyed the Cathedral Square and I was able to find the time to have a Bratwurst and beer while sitting in the square. I found the preparatory reading to very helpful, especially when reading about the blue dye and learning that Erfurt was the center of trade in the Middle ages. All in all I was especially impressed while walking through Erfurt and would love to go back and spend a longer amount of time there.
