Thousands of people from all around the world are coming to the Fischmarkt at the Elbe river in Hamburg every Sunday morning


Fish Market Hamburg

Hamburger Fischmarkt

Virtually anything not nailed down firmly has been traded at Hamburg’s most traditional market since 1703. From dusty porcelain coffee pot to squawking family of live ducks, anything can be acquired down here in the shadow of the former fi sh auction hall.

Every Sunday morning, night birds from the Reeperbahn clutching fi sh rolls and hot coffee descend on the waterfront and hope that it will give them a second wind. For early risers, bargain hunters and simple tourists alike, brunch to Jazz, Pop or Rock music in the historic building is a popular option.

Fischmarkt Originals

At the Fischmarkt you can meet some very special people. Two of them are “Aale Dieter” and “Vogel Jakob”. They are both real originals from the Hamburg Fischmarkt. It’s due to them that the Hamburg Fischmarkt is a special experience every Sunday.
