The city of gates and churches
It was the 59 towers of the churches and the town wall that gave the town its name "Mulhusia turrita" - the tower-decorated Mühlhausen.
In the Middle Ages, Mühlhausen was considered the most important town in Thuringia after Erfurt. The architectural diversity, indeed the entire town centre with the preserved and walkable town wall, testify to the economic and cultural importance of the former imperial town.
During the Peasants' War, Mühlhausen was a rallying point for the rebels. The reformer Thomas Müntzer preached in the five-aisled St Mary's Church. Mühlhausen is also considered a centre of Protestant church music. The three-nave hall church Divii Blasii was Johann Sebastian Bach's place of work.
The urban redevelopment of recent years has given the old town a new lease of life.
