Tradition with History
The Harbor Market is one of the most traditional events in Heilbronn. The city refers to a long market history dating back to 1487, closely linked to potters and the pottery culture of the city. Today, the market stands for high-quality ceramics, decorative living ideas, and carefully crafted handicrafts from all over Germany.
