Regional products directly in the city center

The Jena weekly market provides a reliable destination for environmentally conscious and fresh shopping. Four times a week, regional producers present their goods. The diverse range includes, among other things:

  • Seasonal fruit and vegetables
  • Fresh baked goods, cheese and sausage specialties
  • Fish products directly from the vendor
  • Large selection of plants and flowers

Important information regarding temporary relocation

Normally, vendors set up their stalls directly on the central Marktplatz. However, if major public events take place there – such as the traditional Kulturarena Jena or themed city festivals – the market must relocate.

During these periods, visitors can find the sales stalls in the immediately adjacent streets:

  • Kirchplatz
  • Johannisstraße
  • Rathausgasse
