The Alte Messe Flea Market Leipzig (Alte Messe Trödelmarkt) takes place near Leipzig’s Monument to the Battle of the Nations (Völkerschlachtdenkmal). Held every first Sunday from March through November, the flea market draws 100-200 vendors who set up their stalls near the distinctive “Double M” landmark of the Old Leipzig Fair Grounds.
Known among dealers and collectors as a prime spot for Leipzig’s antiques, this market draws serious buyers searching for unique finds, as well as visitors and casual strollers who want to spend a morning in the fresh air. Alongside typical flea market fare, the primary draw is memorabilia from the era of the German Democratic Republic, particularly vintage furniture. Both permanent and casual sellers contribute to the market’s varied selection, which includes old postcards, paintings, and porcelain.
