Farmers' and Organic Market on Boxhagener Platz

The weekly and organic market at Boxhagener Platz, with 80 to 100 stalls, is the largest weekly market in Friedrichshain. Organic vegetables from Brandenburg, fresh tofu, cold-pressed oils, cheese, and locally smoked fish are offered alongside street food from Lángos to Falafel. For this weekly market in Berlin-Friedrichshain, it means: weekly shopping and breakfast in one place.

Weekly and Organic Market at Boxhagener Platz: Friedrichshain’s Big Neighborhood Market

On market days, Boxhagener Platz, affectionately known as Boxi in the neighborhood, fills up with 80 to 100 stalls. The weekly and organic market is the most important weekly market in Friedrichshain and is operated by the Friedrichshainer Wochenmarktgesellschaft. The offerings have a clear organic focus: fruits and vegetables from Brandenburg farms, fresh tofu, cold-pressed oils, pesto, cheese, eggs, bread, and cakes. At the fish stall, some fish is smoked directly on-site, and there is also regional meat and poultry. Located between old buildings, a playground, and the cafés surrounding the square, the market is a regular weekend fixture for many neighbors.

Street Food, Jewelry, and Records at Boxi

Many come not just to shop, but to eat: Lángos, falafel, and crêpes, as well as Turkish, Albanian, and Arabic dishes, are freshly prepared at the snack stands. Good coffee is available, for example, from a red coffee cart. Between the food stalls, there are stands with jewelry, felt slippers, wooden goods, clothing, and records. Important distinction: The weekly market is not a flea market. The well-known flea market at Boxhagener Platz is a separate event held on a different day. Those who want to experience both will spend the entire weekend at Boxi.
