Erlangen Arts and Crafts Mile: Discover Handmade Unique Pieces in the Old Town
On Saturday, October 10, 2026, the Erlangen Old Town transforms into an open marketplace for professional craftsmanship. In Schiffstraße and Wasserturmstraße, 22 artisans from Erlangen and the metropolitan region will present their unique pieces and small series. Entrance to the Arts and Crafts Mile is free.
Regional Craftsmanship with a Personal Touch
Between white pavilions, a lively marketplace atmosphere is created with a flâneur and lingering character. The exhibitors make their goods themselves and showcase the diversity of professional trades: wood, paper, ceramics, textiles, metal, glass, and sculpture are offered alongside jewelry, bags, fashion design, accessories, turning works, furniture, bookbinding, and handwoven home design.
Unique Pieces, Small Series, and Special Gift Ideas
If you are looking for a shopping experience beyond industrial mass production, you will find carefully crafted individual pieces and small series here. Gold and silver jewelry, ceramic objects, glass works, scarves, fabrics, wickerwork, and practical everyday items combine creative design with craftsmanship quality. The regional variety makes the Arts and Crafts Mile a worthwhile destination for gifts, personal favorites, and special home ideas.
Old Town Visit with Local Added Value
The event is organized by the cultural and economic departments of the city of Erlangen. It supports creative and culturally relevant craftsmanship, strengthens the local economy, and simultaneously revitalizes the Erlangen city center.
