Gänsemarkt Haltern am See

Idyllic spot near the city center

The market commonly referred to as Gänsemarkt was designed in its current form in 1990. With the intention of documenting the significance of the Haltern sands and Haltern water, an fountain and a quartz mineral trail were created here through the initiative of the Haltern economy.
The Gänsemarkt is located in the city center, at the corner of Turmstraße/Gaststiege.
The goose ensemble by sculptors Janos Gyarmathy (Romania) and Laszlo Szatmari Juhos (Hungary) is a gift from the Low German stage Haltern from 1992. It emphasizes the importance of this idyllic spot, harmoniously complemented by the gable-fronted half-timbered building from 1611 (House No. 15), the oldest preserved peasant house in Haltern am See. For the city's anniversary in 2014, the Rotary Club Haltern am See donated a new sculpture, the "Gänseliesel". Since then, it has been watching over the small group of geese on the Gänsemarkt.
Since 1999, the "Gänsemarkt" takes place here every November, where vendors of agricultural products from the surrounding area of Haltern create a market atmosphere like in earlier times.
