Erfurt, Deutschland - A big festival is pending: The 48th Krämerbrückenfest in Erfurt takes place from June 13th to 15th, 2025 and celebrates the remarkable 700th anniversary of the Steinernen Krämerbrücke.

The city of Erfurt did its best to make the event an unforgettable experience. In addition to musical highlights, there will also be a special anniversary stage behind the Krämerbrücke, where regional musicians will create the best atmosphere.
