Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Krämerbrücke is a bridge in the Thuringian city of Erfurt (Germany), which is - without gap - covered with inhabited (half timbered) buildings on both sides. Therefore it is unique in Europe north of the Alps. The footbridge spans the Breitstrom, a branch of Gera River, connecting the two places Benediktsplatz and Wenigemarkt. Krämerbrücke viewed from St. AegidienThe bridge was built next to a ford and was part of the west-eastern trade route Via Regia. Originally constructed from wood, it was first mentioned in 1117 after its destruction by one of the many fires. Its first documentary evidence as "pons rerum venalium" dates back to 1156. Already on this wooden bridge grocers had erected stands on both sides.

After a city fire in 1472, which destroyed nearly half of the city and the stands on the bridge, it was reconstructed in its current form with then 62 half-timbered buildings. To make the three-storey houses of 13 m to 15 m height habitable, the deepness of the buildings was extended by the wooden "Sprengwerke" next to the arch vaults. The width of the bridge finished in 1486 since then amounts to 26 m with a space of 5.5 m between the two rows of houses. At the latest since 1510 the name "Krämerbrück...http://booksllc.net/?l=de
