    The fish market is in the heart of the old town and is just beautiful!

    Hiking

    The fish market with the Groß St. Martin church in the background and the colorful stacked houses is one of the most beautiful and well-known photo motifs in Cologne.
    Translated by
    The "Feschmat", first mentioned in the 12th century, was the center of fish sales. Cologne was an important center for the fish wholesale trade. In the urban "Vischkouffhuis" - the original name of the warehouse - herring, cod, kippers and plaice were not only traded, but also conserved, stored and repackaged.
