Market Life: The faces of Carlsplatz

Palma de Mallorca has its Santa Catalina market, Barcelona its Mercat de la Boqueria and Porto the Mercado do Bolhão. And Düsseldorf has its traditional and oldest weekly farmers’ market Carlsplatz. This is not just a great place for buying everyday groceries but it’s also one of the coolest places in town.

At more than 60 stalls you can find a huge selection of exotic fruits or regional vegetables, fresh fish, meat and poultry, oven-fresh bread and pastries, cheese or a diverse range of delicacies, sweets and coffee specialities and a grand selection of flowers and plants.

Carlsplatz is also well known for its delicious food stands: Enjoy a cold glass of wine and some great truffle ravioli at Casa Cortilla, have a delicious flatbread at Persian delicacy booth Fladi or eat
a healthy falafel at Kavoosh Zia-Pour’s Falafel House. Meet some friends outside at Dave’s Marktlokal or for an Altbier at Dauser. For dessert, Pure Pastry has one of the most exquisite selection of patisserie and sweets.

The amazing culinary choices aside, it’s foremost the people working here that make it such a special and unique place. Our photographer Sabrina Weniger caught them in the act and is showing you the faces of Carlsplatz.
