Fish Market and Fishermen's Fountain in Greifswald

The fish market is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful squares in Greifswald. The focal point is the fish fountain, which was inaugurated in 2000 and is intended to remind people of the previous use of the square.
There are several restaurants and cafés here and the fish market is a popular meeting place. Part of the Christmas market is also located here at Christmas time. The fish market is not actually a square in its own right, but rather a part of the Greifswald market square!

The life-size bronze figures show fishermen in the fountain basin, the eel grab on the edge of the fountain and the fisher woman waiting nearby at a window.

"From a formerly drab-looking place, was in the city center of Greifswald a real eye-catcher Where once the fishermen hawked their freshly caught fish, today a beautiful and colorful ensemble emerged.Surrounded by the Town Hall and other colorful houses located in a central location also the fisherman's well, whose maritime details are to show the life of the fishermen of the time.
