Marketplace of the University and Hanseatic City of Greifswald

Then as now, the market is a meeting place for traders, visitors and residents. Striking houses from different eras line the square, such as the historic town hall and Hanseatic gabled houses. In addition to the market days, many public events and performances take place. Particularly popular is "A day with Caspar David Friedrich" in August and various themed days, such as Easter and flower markets, pottery markets and the Christmas market. Another highlight is the annual Fischerfest-Gaffelrigg weekend.
