The Kleinmarkthalle is one of the most fascinating and certainly one of the most culinary places in Frankfurt. Since the mid-fifties, it is firmly part of the cityscape of the Main metropolis. More than 150 traders offer their fresh goods here day after day, making the Kleinmarkthalle an indispensable meeting place for gourmets and amateur gourmets. Specialties from all over the world are offered under the roof of the hall, perfectly reflecting Frankfurt's highly praised cosmopolitan character. Fruits and vegetables - including unusual varieties from all over the world - sausage and meat specialties, wines, fish, cheese, chocolates, tea, coffee, flowers - all this can be found on about 1,500 square meters.
After the destruction of the first market hall, inaugurated in 1879, in World War II, it came to the construction and opening of the new Kleinmarkthalle. Over time, the Kleinmarkthalle itself, the trade and also the relationship of Frankfurt to this institution has changed. The hall is a real piece of Frankfurt, for which the people of Frankfurt also fight. When it was said for a while that the Kleinmarkthalle was to make way for a new, more modern building, the citizens went to the barricades - until the lack of money in the city treasury put a (temporary) end to the discussion. So the original charm of the hall remains (for now).
The very special smells, of which one is already blown around when entering the hall, the very special atmosphere and the friendly stand operators actually make every visit to the Kleinmarkthalle an experience. And you can always find something here - after all, there's everything your heart and stomach desire. And the ultimate Kleinmarkthalle experience is, of course, tasting a "Worscht" from Frau Schreiber ("wollensesenfdazu and e Bresche?), at whose stand long lines regularly form. And especially when the weather is nice, it is worthwhile to end the purchase with a tasty cappuccino or a glass of wine on the gallery.
The Kleinmarkthalle - this is the other, lovable and cozy side of Frankfurt. Try the variety on offer. You will find, a visit is worthwhile in any case.
