Groceries for the
neighbourhood

Why locals love it

Opened in 1891 as one of 14 market halls built to supply Berlin with fresh groceries, this architectural gem has survived the war and then almost fell victim to dumping-price shops. A citizens' organisation recently decided to take over and it's slowly becoming THE place to go for conscious and fresh shopping.

Why you should visit it

Apart from being interesting to look at, the hallway to the toilet is lined with a comprehensive history of the market hall. Furthermore, there's a street kitchen and cafe open every day from 12:00 to 16:00.
