Roggenmarkt, Medieval marketplace and shopping street in central Münster, Germany.
Roggenmarkt is a curved shopping street in central Münster lined with tall gabled townhouses made of light-colored sandstone. It connects St. Lambert's Church to the Old Fish Market, forming a key passage through the downtown area.
This marketplace began in the 10th century as a grain trading hub on routes connecting western and eastern trade territories. It was almost completely destroyed during World War II and then carefully reconstructed to match the original layout in the 1950s.
The street displays gabled townhouses built from local sandstone, their distinctive facades reflecting the craftsmanship traditions that shaped this shopping district over centuries.
This street is easily walkable and well-suited for exploring downtown on foot. Several bus stops and parking garages are within walking distance, offering convenient access options.
Two decorative stone archways mark the beginning and end of this historic street, serving as symbolic gateways to the old trading district. Like the surrounding buildings, these arches were precisely reconstructed during the 1950s rebuild.
