Weekly Markets in Munich

The weekly markets in Munich, Germany, are an important source of food to the residents of the city.

As it was too expensive to maintain permanent food markets (such as Viktualienmarkt) in some areas, the city authorities established markets that take place once or twice a week for a few hours or an entire day.

The markets are supplied by mobile producers who provide the people of Munich with groceries, flowers and non-food products.

On 20 May 1969 the first weekly market was opened in Plettstraße (Neuperlach), followed by markets in Berner Straße (Fürstenried-Ost), Wellenkampstraße (Hasenbergl) and Graubündener Straße (Fürstenried-West).

Responsible for this market concept is the Bauernmarkt München e. V. (Munich’s Farmers Market Registered Society) founded by the Bavarian Farmers’ Organisation.
