Wenigemarkt

Cafés, restaurants, a goldsmith's shop, and other businesses occupy the ground floors of the 19th Century houses in the Wenigemarkt.

This square was once the easternmost trading center of the Holy Roman Empire. Today, it hosts a medieval market during the Krämerbrückenfest (Merchant's Bridge Festival) in the middle of June.
