St. Pauli Fischmarkt

The St. Pauli Fish Market stretches along the Elbe River, presenting fresh seafood, produce, flowers, clothing, and souvenirs from numerous vendors every Sunday.

The market traces its origins to 1703 when fishermen sold their catches before church services, establishing a commercial tradition that continues into the present.

The market's lively merchants engage customers through spirited sales techniques, creating a morning ritual that brings together local residents and international visitors.

Operating from 5:00 AM to 9:30 AM on Sundays between April and October, and from 7:00 AM to 9:30 AM from November through March.

The adjacent Fish Auction Hall transforms into an early morning dance venue, where night revelers and early risers gather to enjoy live music performances.
