Hack Market

Hackescher-Markt is a square and transport hub in Spandau suburb of Berlin. The center of the night life of the city. Right up to the beginning of the 19th century, a moor lay here in a swampy area. After the demolition of the fortifications under Frederick II, the Berlin commandant, Count Hans Christoph Friedrich von Hacke, ordered the construction of a square on this site, which soon received his name.nDuring the Second World War, part of the building area was destroyed. After the unification of Germany and Berlin in 1990, the old structures that were preserved were reconstructed, the gaps in the building were eliminated. The area has become mostly pedestrian. At the Hackescher Markt, in the arches of the station viaduct and on the surrounding streets, various types of gastronomic enterprises were located, and the Hackescher Markt became the starting point for Berlin’s nightly entertainment. The square has a beer garden and a weekend market.
