Shopping
This Blaudruck booth at the Christmas market on the Domplatz sells
scarves, clothing, and other items made by a painstaking, 300-year-old
"blueprint" process that uses blue dye made from woad or indigo.
If you're in Erfurt outside the Christmas season, you can visit the workshop of
Blaudruckmeisterin Sigritt Weiss, which
is in a house southwest of the historic center near the Dreinbrunnenpark. Telephone
Frau Weiss at 0361/2252430 for an appointment, or (if you don't speak German) ask
your hotel concierge or receptionist to make the call.
To reach the
Blaudruckerei Sigritt Weiss by
public transportation, take Bus 59 to the Wartburgstrasse stop and walk several
blocks to Mühlburgweg 32.
Note: The Erfurt Tourist Office has a page
about the workshop in German;
