Pasing Viktualienmarkt

It was decided to hold the market at the south-western corner of the Pasing Marienplatz opposite the Institut der Englischen Fräulein.

The reason for this was that itinerant traders sold their goods more cheaply at the verge of the market as they did not have to pay a fee.

The constantly increasing traffic led to the relocation of the market in the courtyard of the municipal property Hindenburgstrasse (Baeckerstrasse), which was decided on 15 November 1929 by city councillor Dr. Hoesch.

However, vendors did not agree with that decision as they feared an enormous drop in sales due to the lack of walk-in customers.

From the opening in 1907 until today Pasing Viktualienmarkt has changed its appearance only insignificantly and even during renovation and reconstruction work it did not lose its unique character.
