But Bremen’s fifth season is much older than that – almost 1,000 years old. The first Freimarkt was held in 1035 – making it one of Germany’s oldest fairs. Initially, the Freimarkt was held in Bremen’s historic market square and was a trading market, where farmers, handcraftsmen and tradesmen offered their wares. At today’s Freimarkt you can visit the "Marktdöflein" (little village market) where smithies, masons, and jesters demonstrate what once could be found at the Freimarkt.
