Hackescher Markt ("Hacke's Market") is a square in the central Mitte locality of Berlin, Germany, situated at the eastern end of Oranienburger Strasse.

It is an important transport hub and a starting point for the city's nightlife.

Originally a marsh north of the city fortifications on the road to Spandau, the Prussian king Frederick the Great about 1750 had a market square laid out under the surveillance of Townmajor Hans Christoph Friedrich Graf von Hacke in the course of a northern town expansion.

[1] The railway tracks of the S-Bahn along the eastern and northern sections of Mitte between the stations Hackescher Markt and Jannowitzbrücke are built where the ramparts, walls, moats and glacis of the Berlin Fortress, a 17th century bastion fort around the historic city limits, had been.

Formerly a rather neglected area, Hackescher Markt with its old buildings has developed into a cultural and commercial centre after German reunification, famous for its nightlife[2] centered on the Hackesche Höfe courtyard ensemble.
