Overview:
Erfurt,
Germany - is ideally situated. There just has to be a
city on a spot like this!..." In the 16th century this was
the judgment of Martin Luther the great reformer. The first
official reference, however, was in 742 when Erfurt was
mentioned in a letter to Pope Zacharias. St. Boniface, who was a
missionary archbishop, also recognized that the "Erphesfurt"
location situated on the fertile meadows along the river Gera
seemed as if it were predestined for a great future so that he
recommended the settlement to the Roman Catholic
Church as a suitable place for a bishopric.
With regards to regional rail transport, the following trains
