Neustädter Markthalle (New Town Market Hall), Dresden

Neustadter Markthalle, known in English as New Town Market Hall, is a late 19th century market hall at the corner of Head Street (Hauptstrasse) and Ritter Street (Ritterstrasse). The Wilhelminian period market hall is made of sandstone blocks and covered by a large, glass skylight that allows natural light to reach most areas of the multi-floor building.

The original New Town Market Hall was designed by city planning officer Edmund Brater. To save money, the hall was built without an enclosure on its east side. There were 229 stands, an inn, some apartments and government offices.

Air raids destroyed much of the hall during World War II. Partially rebuilt shortly after the end of the war, the market hall stayed in use for most of the 20th century. Extensive renovations took place from 1997 through 2000. New Town Market Hall now offers many places to shop and eat from 8 AM to 8 PM, Monday through Saturday.
