A historic house opens its doors and tells Erfurt history anew

With Krönbacken raw – Under Roof and Beam, a special event experience starts on June 26, 2026 in the Erfurt Old Town. In the Krönbacken cultural courtyard, a construction-historical monument becomes visible that usually remains hidden: a house that spans from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and is now gradually becoming an exhibition monument.

When monument preservation becomes an experience

The Krönbacken is considered an extraordinary place for all those interested in urban history, architecture, and the atmosphere of historic spaces. In the ground floor and basement, the building's history, the results of building research, and insights into former inhabitants are the focus. This creates a special audience atmosphere: close, authentic, and full of discoveries.

A house with history in the heart of the Old Town

The patrician house located at Michaelisstraße is one of the prominent historical sites in Erfurt. It was built in several phases from the 13th to the 16th century and is closely linked to the city's and citizens' history. Upon entering the house, one immediately feels the character of an authentic place where monument preservation, education, and event planning come together.

City history to touch

The exhibition focuses on a clear, concentrated view of the building itself. Instead of grand staging, the substance is in the foreground: masonry, construction phases, traces of everyday life, and the question of how a private patrician house becomes an open exhibition monument. It is this reduced, factual presentation that makes it appealing and attracts both history enthusiasts and visitors looking to rediscover Erfurt.

Practical information for the visit

The event location is centrally located in the Erfurt Old Town. The city tram line 3 stops at Rathaus, from there it is about a five-minute walk. According to official information, access is partially restricted. Therefore, it is recommended to allow a little more time for the visit to experience the historic ambiance without haste.

Conclusion

Krönbacken raw – Under Roof and Beam connects history, architecture, and a rare monument experience at one of Erfurt's most exciting locations. Anyone interested in museum discoveries, building culture, and the special atmosphere of historic houses should experience this event live.
