      The unique market square is located in the middle of the historic old town of the Hanseatic city of Greifswald around the baroque town hall. It consists of the main market square and the fish market, which is connected by the town hall. It was built around 1300 and is now the seat of the mayor.
      The two oldest buildings on the market square are Gothic residential warehouses, which date from the 14th and 15th centuries.
      At the fish market, only the fish fountain reminds of the use of this place at that time. The rectangular area of the market is a typical feature of urban planning from the Hanseatic era.

        The brick-gabled houses on the east side of the market square are probably among the first stone houses in Greifswald. The Markt 11 property was already built on in the late 13th century. It once belonged to the Rubenow family. Heinrich Rubenow founded the local university as a successful mayor in 1456. During a renovation in 1855/1856, the facade on the ground floor was designed in a neo-Gothic style. The richly structured gable is lavishly decorated with green glazed and unglazed shaped stones, including filigree rosettes. The wide staircase to the upper floor was not paneled until the 1930s. The former living quarters have been used as a restaurant since an extensive interior renovation in the 1990s.
        The history of the Gothic gabled house Markt 13 goes back to the 13th and 14th centuries. Century back. Originally it was probably equipped with a medieval shield gable. During a reconstruction in 1959, a stepped gable was built up, which was retained during the extensive renovation after 1990. However, the concrete blocks used at that time were replaced by fired shaped bricks. In order to clearly distinguish the medieval parts of the facade from the reconstructed parts, glazed bricks are not used. An inn has been located in the barrel vault of the cellar and on the ground floor since 1995. There are offices above.
