When it was built in 1928, the Großmarkthalle (wholesale market hall) was described as 'a forward-looking, yet functional new age building'. 250m long, 50m wide and 38m high, this reinforced concrete structure is flanked on both sides by imposing storage towers. The Großmarkthalle is one of the largest structures of its kind in Germany, and serves as an important depot for fruit and vegetables imported from France, Italy, Holland and Spain, with some 200 traders selling their produce here in the early morning. The building has been a listed monument since 1972.
