With a local: Erfurt, Germany

For more than 20 years Johanna von Hassell has lived in the city of Erfurt, in Thuringia, Germany. I chatted with Johanna on Erfurt’s Domplatz (Cathedral Square) while munching on a mustard-smothered bratwurst, a traditional Thuringian type of sausage whose heritage can be traced to the early 1400s.

Thuringia hosts the 2015 Germany Travel Mart

From 26 to 28 April 2015 Thuringia hosted the 41st Germany Travel Mart (GTM), the annual business-to-business event organised by the German National Tourist Board (GNTB). Over the past four decades the event has become established as a key sales platform for inbound tourism to Germany.
