history
A market duty was already imposed in 965. In 1244 Neumarkt is spoken of, but where the old market was located is no longer known today. Market day was Wednesday and Saturday. But the square was also a place of jurisdiction, so the stake was on the northeast corner of the town hall. The Luna fountain was created around 1540. The current shape of the square with the trees on the northern and southern sides goes back to a design by the city building councilor A. Maske from 1887. The paths on the square also date from this time.
