Kornmarkt, zentral gelegener Platz in der Weseler Innenstadt
The Kornmarkt is an open square in the center of Wesel surrounded by buildings with traditional architecture. The space is lined with restaurants and cafes that place tables and chairs outdoors during warm months, filling the square with activity.
The square has been a market site since 1495, originally used for livestock trading. Over time it became known for grain trading and evolved into an important local commerce center.
The square serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors meet to share meals and drinks together. In summer months, outdoor seating areas fill the space, creating a social hub where community life unfolds naturally.
The square is centrally located in Wesel and easy to reach on foot. Parking is available nearby and public transportation serves the city center regularly.
The square was originally called Brink in medieval times, a name meaning a raised grassy area. This slight elevation remains visible today and sets the space apart from the surrounding streets.
