Entrance
to the Fortress Bake House
The Fortress Bake House was built by the Prussian Army in the first half
of the 19th century. It is located beside the eastern end of the big
Defense Barracks. Before WW II the Geman Army there arranged bake shows.
After WW II it had been forgotten for decades. After Germany's reunion
it was lovingly restored.

St. Peter's Heights
(Petersberg) Citadel in Erfurt is the only German fortress which still has a functioning
fortress bakehouse. The bakehouse is furnished with old German bakery
stoves. So great is the demand for the circular loafs that all are
quickly sold out. On festive occasions or by special requests the
Bakers' Guilt is prepared to arrange baking exhibitions.
