Mannheim Farmers' Market is the largest open air market in the area. Many restaurants chefs go there early in the morning to buy fresh products. It is held year round, Tuesday,Thursday and Saturday morning.During May you can get asparagus there,late summer, early fall it's a good place to find lots of fresh mushrooms. From November on they offer chestnuts for roasting, very good.In addition to vegetables, bread and meat you can also get lots of fresh flowers there.
The picture shows the fountain in the center of the market square. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Marktplatz Mannheim

I lived in Mannheim for a while (and still miss these days). Those days I didn’t need to do my grocery shopping in the supermarkets, as the farmers’ market has all I needed and FRESH ! Just recently I needed some real food fix again, so I drove all the way (60 km) from Darmstadt just to get this wonderful atmosphere again and do some shopping.
Mannheimers are so lucky ! They can go shopping here 3 times a week even ! (in other towns, it is mostly twice). The market is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from early morning until around 2 p.m.
I can highly (= highly) recommend to visit this market for anyone who travels here for business or is close by during sightseeing !
You can get all and everything here from fresh flowers to any kind of fresh fruits and vegetables. Also bread, cheese, sausages – whatever you can imagine.
During autumn, of course fresh mushrooms are available.
Prices are very much fair, mostly even cheaper than in supermarkets.
And remember, you will get fresh food and no “plastic food” here.
I bought some spices, marjoram for example, 25 g for 0,80 €, bags with 50 g of lavender for
0,50 €. Look at my last picture – all in all, I paid 4,50 € for the spices.

Haha, those who have read some of my pages will know that I place tips on bookstores for some cities. I simply cannot do other than enter and browse around.
Mannheim has a good one, too – Buch Kober. There are even 2 of them in town. The usual selection of what I like: extremely well organized and filled travel section, nice things-you-don’t-need-but-cannot-live-without, like agendas, calendars, candles, etc.
And they serve coffee, so you can sit there, browse through books before you decide to buy them.
A place to easily spend some hours.
The 2 stores have a similar stock. Well, the travel section in the one in Kurpfalzstrasse is a bit bigger. The one in Planken has more selection in these specially produced books (on all kinds of subjects – achitecture, cooking, plants, etc).
No, I will not write down what I bought. VT would kill me, as I would need to write pages and pages and pages….
The usual prices for books; the special issues have quite reasonable prices.

 Südlandhaus - THE place for
gourmets to shop ! by Trekki, 1 more photos
I like their writings in the website, where they say that we can fill our car with the most expensive motoroil, but fill in cheap olive oil into our stomachs….. How true !
But whatever you buy here, it is all fresh or from sources, which Südlandhaus’ people constantly control for being of good quality. Whoever looks for plastic food – you won’t find it here.
They have all different kinds of wine from Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Chile, Argentina, New Zealand, Australia and other well known countries. Good brands !
You can also get here all kind of Schnaps (several European countries), olive oil, balsamico vinegar, coffee, honey - you name it. Also fresh seasonal products such as truffles, asparagus, new wine (Federweisser).
Yes, it has its price. But remember, it is fresh and no plastic !
Unfortunately, the website below is only in German. It is also no online shopping; it would be against Suedlandhaus’ philosopy (and I like that).
But you could check the site, and maybe you find what you were looking for

Without Tess having recommended it just some days ago, I would never have realized that there is a shop where chocolate lovers are in heaven – and would most probably need to be forcibly taken out of there.
Called Chocolaterie Stoffel, this family run business offers almost everything you can imagine, made in chocolate. They produce it in their manufacture in a small town called Bobenheim, but most of the sales is done in the Mannheim city one.
The truffles are hand rolled, they have 200 hollow forms to make all kinds of chocolate things big and small childs cannot live without.
Well, what can I tell you – you need to check it out for your own.
Thanks Tess for allowing me to place this here as well :-)
But – we should all remember, Tess gets all the credit for having found it !
(haha, we should negotiate commission for her in the shop).
I bought:
“Broken chocolate”: 100 g for 2,70 €;
Marzipan-orange roll: 1,99 €,
Little chocolate mobile phone: 1,60 € (hahaha, who knows me, knows for whom I got that!)
Wine grape: 3,95 €

One of my neighbours is from Syria and she had given me a very good recipe, but I needed one more ingredient, Sesame paste. In the area left to the farmers' market, the G blocks, there are many grocery stores selling food from all over the world.
There is a large Turkish bakery with lots of sweets and bread. Very colourful cakes are on display in the window, looking like wedding cakes.
I was looking for the Arab store which I knew to be close. On my way there I passed a Spanish and a Portuguese store, an Indian one, two more Turkish shops and a general Asian one.
The Arab store had exactly what I needed,but it took a while until the assistant understood
what I was talking about. Her German was not very good, I don't speak any Arabic at all, but
in the end we managed. Of course, I couldn't leave without some of the very sweet Arabic
cakes. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink
