Fish Market Speyer

The fish market, then, would have been a key part of town, where most people practiced their trade and earned their living. It would have been a town square for all intents and purposes. By the 19th century, however, the popularity of fishing had been replaced by other, most industrial and profitable pursuits and before long, the fishing industry completely shut down. However, due to its historical significance, the Fish Market has been preserved. It is like an open air museum in many aspects, full of historical sights and even works of art such as sculptures and elaborate fountains.
