    These two show the way to the fish market. The market starts directly behind them.

      In the mid-19th century, the two neighboring cities of Altona and Hamburg competed for fishing rights, and the St. Pauli Fish Market in what was then still an independent city, rivaled the nearby Hamburg Fish Market.

      In the 1980s, reconstruction of the square began with modern buildings, including the re-installation of the historic Minerva Fountain. Today, the square is once again used for trade and events.

      Since 1992, a two-part bronze sculpture by Gerhard Brandes has commemorated its former glory. As if taken from life, a fishmonger and a vegetable seller stand slightly elevated
      at the edge of the square. The man is lifting a large crate of fresh fish,
      while the woman strides ahead with two bulging baskets of vegetables.

        The sculptures are made of bronze and were designed by the artist Gerhard Brandes (1992).
        They represent a fishmonger and a market woman.
        In the middle of the 19th century there was a lot of dispute about the fishing rights between Altona and Hamburg.

          The statues are very appropriate for the Hamburg fish market. A great photo opportunity.

            The fish market in Hamburg is iconic! Every Sunday early in the morning at five o'clock there is a lot of activity at the Hamburg fish market on the edge of the harbour. At least in summer. From November to March it starts a little later, namely at seven o'clock.
            Then the loud spectacle increases, with the local barkers outdoing each other in decibels....

              Really very beautiful and expressive sculptures that represent the fish market and fish trade. Great motive.

                      The Alt Helgoländer Fischerstube has been one of the most beautiful and best traditional Hamburg fish restaurants since 1982.

                            The Altona Fish Market is a public market in the Altona-Altstadt district of Hamburg.
                            Its history is embedded in the competition between the two rival cities of Altona and Hamburg.
                            Today it is marketed as a tourist attraction, but it still has an economic function.
