Erfurt, with around 215,000 residents, is the capital of Thuringia and home to over 10,000 students at its university and university of applied sciences. The historic Andreasviertel with its narrow lanes, the medieval Krämerbrücke and the student-run cultural centre Engelsburg make the old town the heart of the nightlife.
