Cottbus tastes like market: Thursday on Spremberger Strasse

On Thursday, May 21, 2026, the Cottbus Weekly Market invites you to a relaxed stroll on Spremberger Strasse from 08:00 to 17:00.

Fresh from the region, straight into the basket

Up to 40 vendors bring the typical market atmosphere to the city: local vegetable gardeners, flower vendors, stands with sausages, poultry, and household goods, as well as a selection of affordable offers from the region. Those who appreciate seasonal goods, short distances, and honest craftsmanship will find the right mix at the weekly market.

City stroll with a market feel

Spremberger Strasse is considered a classic location for the Thursday market, complemented by parts of Schloßkirchplatz and Am Stadtbrunnen as well as the transition to Carl-Blechen-Carré. Particularly in spring, the market shows its friendly side: colorful flowers, fresh fruits, vegetables, and the scent of baked goods and regional specialties shape the morning and afternoon.

Practically planned, relaxed to visit

The market is well-suited as a city center format for both quick shopping and an extended market visit. For market visitors, the mix of everyday supplies, direct sales offers, and the option to combine the visit with a café or restaurant stop in the area is what counts. The city’s information also mentions a fixed market master and clear weekly market organization.
