The History of the Altstadt Flea Market Hanover<\/strong> dates back to the early 1960s, when local residents and private vendors offered second-hand goods along the Hohe Ufer for the first time. This quickly developed into a permanent meeting place for junk lovers, which acquired an unmistakable flair with its special location on the Leine and the backdrop of historic half-timbered houses. As one of the oldest regular flea markets in Germany, it has long since become a permanent institution and has shaped the image of the city centre on Saturdays for many decades. Particularly striking: from the very beginning, the commercial trade in new goods was excluded - a principle that has preserved the special character of this market to this day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
