Erfurt

a city in the German Democratic Republic, on the Gera River. Capital of Erfurt District. Population, 204,000 (1975).

Erfurt, a major industrial center and transportation hub, produces electrical and electronic equipment and office equipment, including electric typewriters and computers; the city also has a footwear industry and a clothing industry. Erfurt is the site of the International Horticultural Exhibition. It has a medical academy and a higher pedagogical school.

The first mention of Erfurt in historical sources dates from the early Middle Ages. The city was made a bishopric in 741. In the ninth century it was a center for barter between the Franks and the Slavs. The city was self-governing from the 13th to 17th centuries. Erfurt’s university, which was founded in 1392 and existed until the 19th century, became a center of German humanism. The city was annexed by Prussia in 1802; occupied by Napoleon in 1806, it was returned to Prussia by the Congress of Vienna of 1814–15.

Erfurt grew around a fortified hill that dominates the city and is the site of a Gothic cathedral (mid-12th century; rebuilt in the 15th century) and St. Severus Church (1278 to the late 14th century). Other architectural monuments include Gothic churches, notably the Dominican church (first half of the 14th century) and the Franciscan church (1285; choir completed in 1316; destroyed in 1944), and Renaissance and baroque buildings, such as the guild houses on the Fischmarkt (second half of the 16th century). In the 1950’s and 1960’s residential complexes were built on the periphery of the city, notably the Stolzestrasse (1957, architect F. Ollertz).
