1. Goethestraße Nō 38 Marker
1688 wurde dieses zweigeschossige traufseitige Haus erbaut und beherbergte den „Gasthof zum Markgrafen“. Die bauzeitige Raumstruktur ist nahezu vollständig erhalten. Das Gebäude steht unter Denkmalschutz. Typisch für die barocken Häuser der 1686 geplanten Erlanger „Neustadt“ sind der schmale Eingang und Flur sowie der enge Treppenaufgang. Heute befindet sich das „Steakhaus Schlotfeger“ in diesem Haus. 2009/10 wurden Goethe- und Heuwaagstraße umgestaltet. Dadurch ist in den Sommermonaten eine Außenbestuhlung auf dem Gehweg möglich.
In 1688, this two-story eaves-side house was built and housed the “Gasthof zum Markgrafen” (Inn of the Margrave). The original room structure from the time of construction is almost completely preserved. The building is a protected historic monument. Typical of the Baroque houses of Erlangen’s “Neustadt,” planned in 1686, are the narrow entrance and hallway as well as the steep staircase. Today, the “Steakhaus Schlotfeger” restaurant is located in this building. In 2009/10, Goethestraße and Heuwaagstraße were redesigned. As a result, outdoor seating on the sidewalk is possible during the summer months.
Erected by Grafische Beratung, “Citizens for Goethestraße” and “The Houses of Goethe–Heuwaagstraße Introduce Themselves”.
