Beautiful town, would recommend to stay at least over night or two, depending when arriving in the town. You will need a whole day to explore the town, first the Historic part and then the shopping strip just behind the Altstadt, as there are also a lot of beautiful old buildings. There are plenty of restaurants in town.

This is one of a number of grand houses in the renaissance style that characterise the historic centre of Erfurt. It stands behind the Roemer column opposite the facade of the neo-gothic Rathaus in a lovely square -- although the square is bisected by a road and tramlines. It has been repainted in recent years and the red ox from which it takes its name stands in a frieze above the main entrance.

Built in 1584 and clearly restored and currently brightly painted, this is a magnificent renaissance style building. The frieze below the first floor windows show representations of the five senses. Its equally wonderful neighbour in similar style depits representations of the virtues. These two buildings dominate on side of one of the finest historic squares in Erfurt.
