About Hornburg Farmers' and Old Town Flea Market

The Hornburg Farmers' and Old Town Flea Market is one of the most traditional market events in the Wolfenbüttel district. Every year at the end of September, the medieval old town of Hornburg, with its magnificent half-timbered facades, transforms into a lively market village. Over 100 stalls line up in the historic Water Street and adjacent courtyards: regional producers present food, honey, cheese, sausage, and handicrafts, while the legendary Old Town Flea Market offers a treasure trove for collectors, flea market enthusiasts, and bargain hunters. The unique combination of an agricultural farmers' market, an antique flea market, and a medieval town setting makes Hornburg a destination for visitors from the entire region on this weekend.

Hornburg — Half-timbered Gem in the District

The historic town of Hornburg, now part of the Schladen-Werla municipality, is famous for its exceptionally well-preserved half-timbered core. With over 380 listed half-timbered houses, Hornburg is one of the most beautiful half-timbered towns in Northern Germany. On this special market day, the artfully carved gables and narrow alleys form the perfect backdrop for lively market activity.

Farmers' Market with Regional Products

The agricultural part of the market offers a broad cross-section of regional producers from the Wolfenbüttel district and its surroundings. At the stalls, visitors will find fresh food, honey directly from the beekeeper, cheese from regional milk processing, homemade sausages, preserved fruits, juices, liqueurs, and traditionally made baked goods. In addition, craftspeople present pottery, woodwork, textiles, and jewelry.

In the narrow streets, on the small squares, and in the inner courtyards, private and professional flea market dealers offer a colorful selection of antiques, vintage furniture, collector's items, porcelain, books, records, and curiosities. Those looking for special finds will get their money's worth here and can combine the day with a leisurely stroll through the old town.
