Flea markets and flea markets are simply great - and there are at least 1000 reasons to love them! 🛍️✨

Quite apart from the sustainability aspect, these markets are lively places full of encounters where you come across the most wonderful, absurd and fantastic stories. After all, almost every item here has its own past - whether it's grandma's hand-knitted wool sweater or an ancient tobacco tin.

Many markets also have live music and snacks, so you can easily while away a whole day here. And if you also find that one lamp or those one pair of trousers - jackpot! 💛

A huge selection of great markets with a focus on junk, clothes, music or design awaits you in the Ruhr area in 2025 - choose your junk!
