Kleinmarkthalle (Small Market Hall), Frankfurt
The Kleinmarkthalle is a market hall in the Old Town of Frankfurt. On working days, 63 retailers in 156 market stalls in an area of around 1,500 square meters offer fresh food, flowers, and seeds here. Nowadays, in addition to regional specialties, like green sauce, imported foods are also sold in this market. Some dealers operate snack stands inside the hall as well. This makes Kleinmarkthalle a retail center of importance for the entire Rhine-Main region.
What to buy here: Frankfurter in a can.
Frankfurt lends its name to the pork sausages known around the world as the “frankfurter”. Although it tastes best fresh, at least one butcher has come up with a canned product suitable as an edible city souvenir that can be transported long distances. The history of Gref-Völsings goes back to 1894 and the founding of a butchery by the same name. Gref-Völsings products are found all over town, in supermarkets, gas stations, restaurants, and butcher shops. For its canned products, the company uses a traditional design to pack its sausages. Frankfurters are long and slender, and a half-dozen will fit into a can that sells for about 6 euros. Suggestions for both fresh and canned Frankfurters are butchers’ Metzgerei Ullmann or Schoen in the city market at Kleinmarkthalle, Hasengasse 5-7, 60311 Frankfurt.
