More information on Heumarkt
A lot has changed at Heumarkt over the last few centuries! These days it mainly seems to be one huge building site, which is actually an archaeological excavation. Like the nearby Altermarkt, it was once for much more than just historians or tourists. The name comes from the Middle Ages when it was the 'hay-market'. In the 17th century the square was supposedly so beautiful that it could be compared to St. Marco in Venice. But don't get your hopes up - today it is overrun with traffic. It was torn in half after the Second World War to make space for the onramp to the Deutzer Bridge.
