The Naschmarkt is a small square in the city center of Leipzig. It owes its name to a time when fruit was traded here,[1] which was also considered a sweet treat at the time.[2] Today it serves as an open-air restaurant in the warmer months of the year, while before Christmas it hosts part of the Christmas market.
