Spielbudenplatz (Playing Booths Square), Hamburg

Playing Booths Square has been home to artists and merriment seekers since artists and jugglers made it their home 200 years ago. In the late 1800s, showmen put on puppet shows and cabaret shows. If showmen were successful in the Playing Booths Square, they would be permitted to rent buildings in the area.

Playing Booths Square is now home to markets, festivals, and events. It is home to the fabulous Saint Pauli Night Market, held every Wednesday night. Visitors can try different street food and eat at Hamburg's longest outdoor table. Locals and visitors can shop for market goods, including fresh fish.
