Putbus market

The Putbus market was originally a natural square-like extension of the so-called Erlenbruch, which stretched all the way to Putbus Castle. Around 1825, the Luisenplatz, initially named after the Princess of Putbus - Louise - was leveled, a lawn was laid out and Italian poplars were planted. An iron candelabra was erected in the middle of the square, although this was later replaced by a war memorial in honor of the town's sons who fell in 1864, 1866 and 1870/71. In 1819, the seaside resort was granted permission to hold annual markets on the market square, and in 1823, permission for trade and commerce. From 1829 there were weekly markets in Putbus. Buildings such as a hotel, the brewery publishing house, the servants' restaurant, craftsmen's houses and merchants' stores, notables' houses and the princely pharmacy were built around the market square.
