Markthalle Neun - by Jungmi Myung on Google
Description
Markthalle Neun (meaning Market Hall #9) is a covered market in Berlin's Kreuzberg district. It sells a wide range of products with a focus on sustainability: fruits and vegetables, dairy, fish and meat, baked goods, coffee and drinks, etc. and some cooked food stalls. Markthalle IX was the ninth market hall built in Berlin (out of 14) in the later part of the 19th century. It thrived until the rise of supermarkets in the 2nd half of the 20th century and was only revitalized in 2009-12.
Access & Transport
The market is on Eisenbahnstraße, close to the Spree river. Görlitzer Bahnhof (U1, U3) is only 200m away from the market. The closest bus stops are on Lausitzer Platz and Wrangelstr. (140)
Instructions & Recommendations
Note that the market is closed on Sundays. We recommend combining this activity with a discovery off the Kreuzberg neighbourhood and/or a visit of the East Side Gallery, just across the river.
Environmental & Social
We deem this activity marginally positive from an environmental standpoint as many products are grown using sustainable methods. The small producers' aspect is a positive from a social perspective, but the pricing is a negative community-wise.
Conclusion
Market Hall IX is an excellent venue for some groceries, snacks or a meal for those in the Kreuzberg district but be aware that it is a highly "gentrified" market and priced accordingly. Whilst there are a few stalls that are special and may warrant a trip on their own, we believe there are other alternatives spread out in other neighbourhoods that may be less famous but provide better value and feel more authentic (and less touristy).
Key positive
Some stalls are genuinely excellent and have become famous city-wide
Key negative
Touristy prices - not great value
Suitability
No restrictions
