The Kornplatz (formerly also: Kornmarkt ; Italian Piazza del Grano ) is located in the middle of the old town of the South Tyrolean capital Bozen , immediately south of the Bozen arcades and north of the Waltherplatz .

The Kornplatz is one of the oldest places in Bolzano, as it is a central part of the market settlement that was founded around the arcades in the late 12th century . In 1271 the place is called "Cormarch" and in 1288 in the princely land register of Count Meinhards II of Tyrol-Gorizia as "Chorenmarcht" . The public scales for the grain traded on the square existed here at the Waaghaus , the corresponding building is first documented in 1343 as “fronwage zu Bozen” and in 1396 as “an der Wag” . According to the Bolzano city law of 1437, grain in Bolzano was only allowed to be sold on the Kornplatz, these provisions also applied to cheese, chestnuts and nuts. The Bolzano market regulation, written around 1450, stipulated that feed, grain and grain may only be weighed and sold on the “right Korennplatz” .

In the district court order of Gries -Bozen from the year 1487 is Kornplatz , as a general inner-city meeting and Aufgebotsort determined.

The former town castle of the bishops of Trento , which was destroyed in the 15th century, and the St. Andrew's Chapel, first occupied in 1192, also existed on Kornplatz . The foundations of a later demolished keep from the 12th century - presumably part of the old city ​​fortifications , which had already been demolished in the 13th century - were uncovered in the 1980s and made visible in the paving of the square.

The southern section of the Kornplatz was also known as the pig place in older times , since farm animals were traded here.

There are numerous architectural monuments on the square , such as the Gasthof Weißes Kreuz, the former Weinstube Unterhofer and the residential buildings Kornplatz No. 2, 4, 5, 8 and 10.
