Schranne

The Schranne is a weekly market in Salzburg that spreads around Saint Andrew's Church, opposite Mirabell Palace, featuring approximately 190 sales stands. These vendors offer regional produce including vegetables, fruits, meats, cheeses, baked goods, and flowers throughout the market area.

The market was established in 1906 when local authorities officially designated the square in front of Saint Andrew's Church as a weekly trading place for farm products. This decision shaped how the location has been used ever since and made it a key hub for regional goods.

The market brings together city residents and local farmers who sell their goods directly, creating a space where people from the region meet and shop. Here, you find not just produce but also flowers, cheese, and baked goods that reflect how people in Salzburg eat and live.

The market opens on Thursdays in the early morning hours and closes by early afternoon, with the best selection available shortly after opening. The area around the church offers plenty of space to move around, making it easy to walk between the stands without crowding.

The name Schranne comes from the Italian word 'scranna', meaning a court table or bread table, pointing back to its role in grain and bread trading. This origin reveals how Salzburg's markets were shaped by commerce and cultural ties with regions to the south.
