The narrow medieval houses between the Hohenzollern Bridge and the Severins Bridge were once the trading centre of the city. Where craftsmen and merchants, since approximately the 10th century, displayed and offered their wares, has now become the entertainment quarter. Today the former market squares are still busy, especially the Altermarkt. At Heumarkt, archaeologists display finds which tell the story of life in the town in years gone by, while the Alter Markt is a traditional meeting-place during festivals, markets and the opening of the Karneval.
