Grosse Bergstrasse Between Ottensen and Kiez

Grosse Bergstrasse is one of the oldest streets and the main shopping centre in Hamburg-Altona Old Town. It originally led from Nobisor to the north past the old city centre of Altona and the Jewish Cemetery to the northern part of Ottensen. Its current path between Bruno-Tesch-Platz at the junction of Vichowstrasse and Hamburg-Altona railway station is greatly reduced and is mostly used as a pedestrian zone.

Traditional weekly market in Altona Fischmarkt

A real Hamburg classic – since 1703!

Sunday morning in Hamburg. While most of the city still sleeps, the Große Elbstraße wakes up to the bustling rhythm of the Hamburg Fish Market. For over 300 years, it’s been a place of trade, tradition and typical northern charm – full of energy, humor and harbor atmosphere.

Auctioneers, Music & Market Magic

Since 1703, almost anything that’s not nailed down is for sale – from antique teapots to freshly packed meat parcels. Legendary market characters like Aale-Dieter shout their offers into the crowd, bananas fly through the air, and fish is sold by the bucket. You’ll find fresh seafood, tropical fruit, flowers, clothing, souvenirs and much more – the market is a full-sensory experience.

Between night and morning – one iconic gathering

Party-goers fresh off the Reeperbahn mingle with early risers at the harborfront, sipping coffee or munching on a fish roll as the sun rises. For some, the day is just beginning; for others, it’s not quite over yet. The historic Fish Auction Hall from 1896 completes the experience with live music and breakfast options.

Opening Hours

Summer (April–October): Sunday from 5:00 to 9:30 AM

Winter (November–March): Sunday from 7:00 to 9:30 AM

A must-see for culture lovers, Hamburg fans and foodies alike!
