Practical city guide

History and character

Understand the setting before choosing your own route.

Apolda's development was shaped above all by bell casting and knitwear and textile production. The traces of these traditions now form the town's most engaging visitor route.

Between Bahnhofstraße, the market square and Herressener Promenade, visitors can combine museums, contemporary art, urban architecture and a break by Friedensteich.
