Genter Farmers' Market

The Genter weekly market is located in the parking lot behind Wedding Town Hall and is considered the largest weekly market in northern Berlin. Turkish and Arab traders sell fruits and vegetables at prices below supermarket level, as well as börek, simit, olives, halal meat, and fabrics. For a weekly market in Berlin-Wedding, this means: a big shop for a small budget.

The Genter Weekly Market: Large Neighborhood Market Behind Wedding Town Hall

In the large parking lot behind Wedding Town Hall, between Genter, Ostender, and Limburger Straße, one of the most traditional markets in northern Berlin takes place. The operator, Gakenholz und Gellesch GmbH, describes the Genter weekly market as the largest weekly market in northern Berlin, where trading has taken place for more than 100 years. Most stalls are run by traders of Turkish and Arab origin, along with long-established Wedding market vendors. It’s loud and direct, and prices are noticeably below those in supermarkets.

Börek, Simit, and the Button Stall

The assortment is geared towards daily life in the neighborhood: fruits and vegetables in large quantities, herbs, olives, cheese, halal meat, fish, and baked goods. Fresh börek and simit are available to eat on the go, and fresh fruit is juiced at the juice stall. One stall sells buttons, spools of yarn, zippers, and fabrics, while others offer household goods. Shortly before the market closes, many prices are reduced again. It’s just a few minutes’ walk from Leopoldplatz subway station (U6 and U9).
