Erfurt in turmoil: close long -term business - what happens now?
in Erfurt's city center, especially around the Anger, the lights go out: some long -term businesses have closed their doors. The clothing store "ONLY" has hired the company as well as the popular fashion jewelry chain "Claire’s". In the meantime, there is an exciting business development at Schlösserstraße 20. The “Brink” shop was located here for years, but had to move to the cathedral square last year. After "Brink" the jewelry and watch service "Rewa Timecheck" moved in, but this also lasted only a few months and closed again.
A glimmer of hope came in December 2024 when the Erfurt wholesaler took over the area, which was then continued in February under the name "Best Ramp". Unfortunately, the shop also had to close its doors at the end of May. The area was only rented for the rent, and the rental period was extended, but the walls are now silent again. Since June 11, 2023, works of art that are exhibited as part of the art project 2.13, matching the lively grocer bridge festival, which now offers an inspiring cultural corner after the closure. The CityManagement Erfurt continues to search for a subsequent tenant for the empty shop.
