Altmarkt, Central market square in Cottbus, Germany

The Altmarkt features residential buildings with Saxon Baroque design and classical eaves-style houses constructed during the 18th and 19th centuries.

The square functioned as a primary trading location in medieval Cottbus, with timber-framed houses encircling the perimeter of the marketplace.

The Marktbrunnen fountain, completed in 1990, displays eight sandstone reliefs depicting traditional trades and historical events of Cottbus.

The square connects to Sandower Straße and Berliner Straße, providing easy access to shops, cafes, and the Altes Stadthaus event venue.

The central stele of Marktbrunnen features Marie Groch, a Baumkuchen seller, alongside figures of a fisherman and market woman by artist Egmar Ponndorf.
