Markthalle (Market Hall), Stuttgart
Markets have taken place in Stuttgart since 1304, and the first market house was built in 1450. A new market hall was built in 1864, featuring modern iron and glass construction. King Wilhelm I commissioned the market to help wine growers have a place to sell their wine year-round.
However, Stuttgart soon outgrew that hall, and a larger hall was built in 1914 in the Art Nouveau style. Market Hall was constructed with reinforced concrete girders and features a glass roof.
Today, the hall is home to a variety of shops and restaurants. Visitors can shop for home and garden decor. Other shops feature books, art, jewelry, coffee, and tea. Culinary delights are a big draw, and the market is filled with fresh fruit, vegetables, meats, cheeses, spices, truffles, wine, and desserts. International foods are also on display. Visitors will find Italian, French, German, Spanish, Greek, and Arabic food available.
