Halle's market square is one of the city's most important meeting places and event venues. With its typical irregular shape, the 14 intersecting streets, and not least its characteristic silhouette – the "Five Towers" – the square not only provides the setting for the daily fresh market but is also a tram hub and a popular stage for special events.

The Swan Bridge connects the popular tourist destination of Peißnitz Island with Kröllwitz and Heide-Süd. Below the bridge (on Peißnitz Island), the Peißnitz Express train has a stop and a level crossing.

Finally it's running again! 😍

The fountain was built in 1983. After being out of service for years, it was renovated and is now flowing again.

Pedestrian zone from/to the train station, with typical shops.

From 1891 to 1921, a limestone quarry existed on the site of today's lake. In 1890, a 30-meter-high mountain still stood here. Shell limestone, which formed in the Triassic period approximately 240 to 233 million years ago, was mined there. The limestone was used for cement production. After limestone mining ceased in 1921, the lake was formed by inflowing groundwater and rainwater. From 1921 until the 1950s, the Graeb family's timber processing business existed on the southern shore of the lake (from which the popular name Graebsee is derived), which used the lake to water tree trunks. Remains of the business above the southern shore survived until the mid-1990s and were only demolished when new residential buildings were built. For a time, the lake was used as a swimming pool. In the 1970s, there were plans to terrace part of the steep bank and build a café for daytrippers. However, the plans were never realized. In 1979, the western part of the Bruchsee, with its steep bank, was protected as a natural monument. For years, part of the water was used to air-condition the Prisma cinema, built in 1982/83. With the demolition of the cinema, the associated regulation was discontinued, so the water level rose noticeably in the following years. Since the installation of a new pump, excess water has been continuously diverted into the nearby Saugraben, which flows through it to the Saale River. Thus, the lake is now part of the groundwater management system for Halle-Neustadt. Source: https://hallelexikon.msw-welten.de/enzyklopaedie/bruchsee/

The Chemical Fountain was designed by Professor Irmtraud Ohme, who also created the Moorish sculptures. The name presumably refers to Neustadt, a former chemical workers' town. Originally (from 1971), the fountain was located on Neustadt's main thoroughfare. Source: https://www.halle-im-bild.de/fotos/brunnen-wasserspiele/chemiebrunnen

The "Chemical Engineer" is a sculpture by Senta Baldamus, created in 1980. It depicts a woman with rather austere facial features, wearing a dress and short hair, carrying several pieces of paper. It was initially located on Richard-Horn-Straße, but was later relocated to the path from the swimming pool to the public order office in Halle-Neustadt. There, it was dismantled and stored (in a protected area) for almost six years. The sculpture was reinstalled at the end of November 2014.
