The Freiberg upper town with the Petrikirche and the upper market was laid out in the second half of the 80s of the 12th century according to plan and according to a rectangular scheme. Already at this point in time, or only a few years later, and thus not after the city fire of 1484, as previously assumed, the first construction was also carried out on the west side of the Obermarkt towards the Petrikirche. The Obermarkt in Freiberg was never renamed for almost 800 years in the course of history and therefore still bears his "birth name". The historic square has been kept closed.
