Tradition with a strong regional foundation

Today, around 1000 weekly markets take place annually at seven locations, supported by about 130 regular traders. This developed structure shapes the shopping experience: close to the producers, close to the city, close to the products.
Freshness, variety, and direct marketing
On Saturdays, the range includes oven-fresh baked goods, fruits and vegetables from small and organic farms, homemade dairy products, fresh poultry, free-range eggs, meat and sausage products, fish, plants, cut flowers, Spreewald products, oils, spices, honey, and coffee. Market visitors can enjoy a varied stroll with many seasonal impressions and strong regional accents.
