Hauptmarkt

Hauptmarkt covers approximately 5,000 square meters in the heart of Nuremberg's old town, hosting a daily weekly market with around 40 permanent stalls offering fresh produce, regional specialties, organic products, flowers, spices, and artisanal goods from local farmers and craftspeople.

Established in the 14th century after the destruction of the Jewish quarter in 1349, this marketplace was originally called Grüner Markt before officially receiving the name Hauptmarkt in 1809, serving as the main commercial center of the medieval city.

The square hosts numerous cultural events throughout the year, including the famous Christkindlesmarkt Christmas market, the old town festival, seasonal markets featuring asparagus and Easter goods, and the Trempelmarkt, one of Germany's largest flea markets.

The market operates Monday through Saturday from 7 AM to 8 PM with peak hours between 9 AM and 6 PM, and visitors can access digital maps online to easily locate specific vendors and product categories available on any given day.

During major events like the Christmas market, all regular market stalls are relocated to the surrounding pedestrian zone, completely transforming the spatial organization and accessibility of Nuremberg's historic city center.
