Tradition in the City Center
Oberkirchplatz is regarded as the most traditional weekly market in the city. The city of Cottbus describes the market as a fixed meeting point for local shopping; depending on the market day, up to 40 vendors are present. The market thus stands for a developed quality of supply and direct marketing in the city center. ([cottbuser-wochenmarkt.de](https://www.cottbuser-wochenmarkt.de/wochenm%C3%A4rkte/oberkirchplatz/))
Regional Diversity with Clear Choices
At the weekly market, visitors can expect baked goods, meat and sausage products, fruits and vegetables, as well as other small local products. The organic and weekly market overview primarily mentions baked goods, meat and sausage products, fruits and vegetables, and small local products for Tuesdays; the Saturday offerings are even broader, including plants, cut flowers, honey, fish, and Spreewald products.

Short Distances, Strong Producers
The market regulations of the city of Cottbus explicitly emphasize the principle of producers before vendors. This strengthens the role of direct marketers, regional producers, and seasonal goods. Visitors thus shop close to the source and experience the weekly market as an authentic place of regional quality. ([cottbus.de](https://cottbus.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Wochenmarktsatzung.pdf))
