Frankfurt Flea Markets

The Frankfurt Flea Market switches locations every other weekend, either along the river starting at the Eisener Steg bridge on the Sachsenhausen side of the river or on Lindley Str. at the East Harbor.

The Flea Market at the East Harbor (Osthafen) is easy to get to, just take the #11 tram from the Römer (our tour meeting point) to Lindley Strasse. This is about a 5-minute ride from the Römer.

One is expected to bargain, and the later in the day it gets, the better the bargains get, as long as you don’t mind risking losing that special treasure you had your eye on.

There are other flea markets held in Frankfurt, most notably at the Bornheim Saalbau, the Eisporthalle parking lot, Jahrhunderthalle, and various churches and kindergartens. There are often Antique or Trödel markets combined with these and one of my favorite places to buy German souvenirs. People don’t have yard sales or garage sales, so this is the best way to find all kinds of stuff. Check back here for dates, or check on our Facebook Fan page.

  2. Have never sold anything at the Flea Markets, so am unfamiliar with their rules. Try and ask some of the vendors that are selling similar items. I know some items there are new, but I don't know if you need a special permit or license for that. Sorry I couldn't help more. – Jo

  3. Have a look at this website and under the word Sonntag, which is Sunday in German, you will find the listing for the various markets. They might be antique, or a few other catagories and in various locations like shopping malls, Jahrhunderthalle, in front of the Eissporthalle, etc. There will also be an antique market on the Konstablerwache on 30 June. This is a really good one. http://www.marktcom.de/Hessen/Frankfurt%20am%20Main/Frankfurt%20am%20Main
