Cottbus Weekly Market at Oberkirchplatz: Freshness, Variety, and Authentic City Center Atmosphere

The Cottbus Weekly Market on Tuesday brings the city center into the rhythm of regional products, short distances, and authentic market culture. At Oberkirchplatz, visitors encounter fresh food, seasonal goods, and a shopping experience that has felt the roots of market culture since the 19th century. The market is considered the most traditional weekly market in the city and takes place in the heart of Cottbus.

Regional Products with Short Supply Chain

The selection ranges from baked goods to fruits and vegetables to meat and sausage products, as well as other small goods. According to tourism and market information, regional products characterize the offerings; these include, among others, chicken eggs, game meat, flowers, milk and cheese products, household goods, Spreewald products, honey, oils, and spices. This very mix makes the market attractive for weekly shopping as well as for spontaneous enjoyment.
