Alter Markt Dortmund by the Reinoldi Church
The Alter Markt has been the beating heart of Dortmund for centuries. Situated near the Reinoldi Church, it serves as a popular central meeting place. At one time it was home to the town hall and a weekly market, but the market has since moved to the neighbouring Hansaplatz, while the new town hall is to be found at Friedensplatz.
Nevertheless, the Alter Markt has lost none of its charm. And when hundreds of BVB fans congregate on match days, it’s as bustling as it ever was. In the weeks leading up to Christmas it also hosts one of the main sections of Dortmund’s famous Christmas Market.
