EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling Goose Market in Berlin, Germany, as depicted in this photograph from the late 19th century. Taken in approximately 1890, this historical image showcases the lively trade of geese at the market, a tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. The Goose Market, located in the heart of Berlin, was a significant event in the city's cultural and agricultural calendar. Farmers and traders from the surrounding areas would gather to sell their prized geese, which were highly valued for their meat and feathers. The birds were displayed on makeshift tables or hung from hooks, their gleaming feathers catching the sunlight as the crowd of buyers and onlookers milled about. The scene in this photograph is one of bustling activity, with people of all ages and social classes coming together to participate in the market. Farmers in traditional clothing, wearing felt hats and carrying wooden yokes, stand proudly next to their geese, while well-dressed city dwellers haggle over prices and inspect the merchandise. In the background, horse-drawn carts and wagons are loaded with crates of geese, ready to be transported to their final destinations. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of Berlin and the importance of agriculture and trade in the city's past. The Goose Market was not just a place of commerce, but also a social event where people came together to celebrate their community and the bounty of the harvest. Today, this tradition may have faded away, but the memory of the Goose Market lives on in images like this one, which capture the spirit of a bygone era.
