Erfurt - Cathedral Hill Domberg
In spite of some bomb damage during the Second World War, Erfurt's charming old town center has largely been preserved intact. Since the war, much restoration of old buildings has been done. The dominant features of the town are its two medieval churches, the Cathedral and St Severus, on the Domberg in the heart of the city.
