Erfurt - Anger

Johannesstrasse joins the Anger, one of Erfurt's oldest streets, now completely restored and lined with shops and restaurants. At the corner of the Anger and Trommsdorfstrasse is the Ursuline Convent, with a richly furnished interior (not open to the public).

On the street (Nos. 28-29) can be seen the house called "Zum Grossen Schwantreiber und Paradies". Farther along the street is the Dacherödensches Haus (Nos. 37-38), with the finest Renaissance doorway in the town (16th C.), which was frequented by some of the leading intellectual figures of the Goethe period, including Goethe himself, Schiller and Wilhelm von Humboldt, who became engaged to Carolina von Dacheröden.
