Persil Clock (Persiluhr)

Highlight • Monument

It's wonderfully nostalgic to see the old Persil clock. Younger people won't be able to do much with it, but older people will.

An exhibition worth seeing and many unique concerts and readings in a beautiful ambience make the Kornmarktkirche interesting and worth experiencing.

The history of the historic town hall goes back more than 700 years. The building complex has been expanded several times and therefore represents different stylistic periods. During a tour you can discover the impressive town hall, the large council chamber and the Imperial City Archives with its extensive collection. A visit to the historic rooms on the 1st floor (entrance Ratsstraße 19) is worthwhile.

Mühlhausen City Walls

Highlight • Monument

At the Frauentor there is access to the almost completely preserved city wall, which can be walked from here at about 330 meters. The view from the associated raven tower of the city and the Frauentor is wonderful.

Mühlhausen City Wall

Highlight • Historical Site

It is definitely worth it. Wonderful view over Mühlhausen. And a great view of the many different churches, which were partially rededicated. The library is now housed in the Jacobi church. It's worth taking a look as well.

Frauentor (Outer Women's Gate)

Highlight • Monument

The outer Frauentor in Mühlhausen is a preserved part of the medieval city fortifications and is located today on Johannisstraße. It belonged to the outer ring of the city walls and was part of a complex gate system that, together with the inner Frauentor, secured access to the city. This staggered construction served defensive purposes, as attackers had to overcome several gates in succession. The outer Frauentor was presumably built during the expansion of the city fortifications in the 14th century, as Mühlhausen continued to grow and required additional protection. In addition to its military function, it was also an important entrance for merchants and travelers. An important road led through the gate in the direction of the Marienkirche, which also explains the name "Frauentor".

Schwanenteich Mühlhausen

Highlight • Lake

Unfortunately, due to extensive renovation work, our local recreation area cannot be reached. However, you can still use the restaurants, which are also very good 👍

Popperöder Well House and Spring

Highlight • Monument

Hardly any other fountain house has been looked after as well as the Popperöder fountain house in the centuries after its construction. After there had been a fountain festival in Mühlhausen since the beginning of the 17th century, the source of the Poppenröder Bach was framed and the adjoining house was built. A place that is still absolutely magical today.
