It was not far from the "Erphesfurt"- a ford through the river Erphe - as it was called in the Middle Ages,

that the missionary bishop Boniface founded a bishopric in 742.

The name "Erfurt" appears on record at two important European trade routes from West to East  (from Paris to Novgorod)

and from North to the South, connecting Northern Germany with Italy as Erfurt developed into a powerful commercial and university town.

In the 17th Century, commercial gardening prepared the way for Erfurt's blossoming economy and renewed prosperity and untill today Erfurt is known the city of flowers, not only in Germany but also throughout Europe.
