The popular weekly markets that take place at locations such as the Alaunplatz, Königstraße and Stralsunder Straße invite the citizens to discover regional products and local specialties. Not only fruit and vegetables, but also freshly baked bread, homemade sausages and many other delicacies are offered here. According to TAG24, these markets enjoy a high level of support, since they not only offer shopping opportunities, but also act as meeting points for the community.

a place for community

But if you think that the weekly markets are only about shopping, you are wrong! The markets also offer a room for encounters and conversations. According to the [Marktgilde] (https://www.marktgilde.de/news/artikel/Agunicha-2030-nachthaffigen-staedte- municipalities), they are an important part of an inclusive, safe and sustainable urban development. They not only ensure access to fresh foods, but also promote cooperation in the community and strengthen the local structures.

The city of Dresden provides the market areas, while companies that want to take care of the organization of the markets can submit their applications from August 8, 2025. The office for business development or by email at Konzensions-maerkte@dresden.de is written. This shows once again that the weekly markets play a central role in the life of the city and contribute to the quality of life in a variety of ways.

With this new advertisement, not only the variety of products is ensured, but also an important step towards sustainable urban development is taken. The upcoming months are therefore exciting for everyone who likes to enjoy fresh, regional products and want to promote a lively community!
