Farmers' Market on Karl-August-Platz

The weekly market at Karl-August-Platz in Charlottenburg has existed since 1894 and celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2019. Around 100 vendors sell fruit and vegetables from the surrounding area, cheese from three countries, Italian wine, and Pastel de Nata around Trinity Church. For a weekly market in Berlin-Charlottenburg, this means: a neighborhood market with a particularly large selection of delicacies.

Karl-August-Platz Weekly Market: Charlottenburg Market at Trinity Church

Around Trinity Church in Charlottenburg, about 100 vendors set up their stalls two days a week. The weekly market at Karl-August-Platz has a long history: Shortly after the square was laid out in 1894, trading began here for the first time; market operations resumed after the war in 1949, and in 2019 the market celebrated its 125th anniversary. It is still operated by the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district office. A good portion of the fruit and vegetables come from producers in the Berlin area, along with meat, fish, baked goods, honey, and cut flowers.

Cheese, Italian Wine, and Pastel de Nata

The market owes its good reputation primarily to its delicatessen. Several stalls offer cheese from Germany, France, and Italy, along with Mediterranean specialties, spices, olives, and Italian wine. Street food stalls sell burgers, crêpes, and Portuguese Pastel de Nata; fresh pasta is available for take-away. Among the foodstuffs are flowers, plants, and leather goods. The audience is mixed: families from the neighborhood around Wilmersdorfer Straße, long-time regulars, and visitors from all over City West.
