Herbstmarkt
14–15 September 2026
Two days in mid-September
Two days on the Marktplatz in mid-September, listed by the market office and by nobody else.
Weekly market
The working market on the Marktplatz, six mornings a week, every week of the year.
Monday to Saturday, all year round
Weimar's calendar is full of markets that arrive once a year and get written about accordingly. This is the one that is simply there: Monday to Saturday, all year, on the Marktplatz — the same square the Zwiebelmarkt takes over for three days each October — and on the Goetheplatz when the Marktplatz is otherwise in use. The market office lists it in one line and the tourism pages not at all, which is precisely why visitors miss it, and why it is the most reliable half hour in the city if you want to see Weimar doing something other than being historic.
