Markt, square in Bonn, Germany

The Markt is a market square in central Bonn where daily vendors sell fresh produce, bread, cheese, flowers, and other goods. The triangular-shaped plaza is surrounded by historic buildings and has two main sections: a green market with fresh fruits and vegetables, and a street food area offering meals from around the world.

The Markt emerged in the 11th century as the centre of a trading settlement on a busy road through Bonn. The Old Town Hall at its head was built in Rococo style; the Marktfontaine obelisk stands in the middle of the roughly triangular square. The underground car park beneath the square opened on 7 November 1970 after eighteen months of construction.

The market is used daily by Bonn residents who come with bags and baskets to shop for fresh food and flowers. People meet friends here, exchange stories with vendors, and gather to eat together, making this space a center of community life.

The square is located in the city center next to the Old Town Hall and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport. The market operates Monday through Saturday during daytime hours, and an underground parking garage beneath the plaza makes car visits convenient.

Sixty bronze books, called "Lese-Zeichen", are set into the pavement as part of the Bücherverbrennung memorial. Each year on 10 May, the anniversary of the 1933 book burnings, a book chest embedded in the ground is lifted and passages from the works inside are read aloud.
