The desire for a market hall in Heilbronn has been coming up again and again for many years. Recently, the Reim area was probably better known than the parking lot at Käthchenhof, or even the Käthchenhof itself was discussed. A market hall in Heilbronn's core city would also be a successful addition to the weekly market, which takes place regularly on the market square.
The time for a Heilbronn market hall also seems to be more than ripe, as many citizens are increasingly looking for regional or, even better, local products and are willing to pay a little more for them. In addition, a market hall would not only make the offer available over a longer period of time, but also more independent of the weather - an advantage that should not be underestimated in an Internet-savvy world.
And combined with suitable drink and snack stands as well as small restaurants, another attraction not only for the students of the Heilbronn University and colleges and the tourists who are increasingly striving to Heilbronn.
The market hall would come at the right time to keep up the Heilbronn innovation and attractiveness trend even after the end of the BUGA.

So that the other people of Heilbronn get a taste for it, here is a report about the Kleinmarkthalle in Frankfurt: https://youtu.be/2jB2_lm9r5Q
Here is a good example of how market halls could be built today, combining shopping, entertainment and living. In my opinion, a good role model for Heilbronn: https://www.cityguiderotterdam.com/de/shoppen/einkaufsviertel/markthalle-rotterdam
Just have a look for yourself!
That was the concern of the Free Voters during the last election period and we have to include it again this time! Greetings Irene
