The Peißenberg flea market took place for the second time this year.
But this time something was different: the visitors could get vaccinated against Corona while shopping.
Peißenberg - At the Peißenberg flea market on the Volksfestplatz, which was held on Saturday for the second time this year, an offer that was completely untypical for such places was to be found for the first time.
The Johanniter had set up a tent in which the visitors of Dr.
Christoph Wittermann were able to get vaccinated against Corona.
There were two vaccines to choose from: Johnson & Johnson and Biontech.
The latter was given for both the first and the second vaccination.
Flea market was deliberately used as a location
According to Wittermann, the flea market was deliberately chosen as the location and time for the vaccination campaign because “many visitors come here”.
They could get vaccinated without prior notice.
According to Wittermann, the effort was greater than in a doctor's practice, mainly because an emergency power generator had to be operated to keep the vaccine in a cool bag in stock.
The seven-hour campaign was worth it.
At half time, two dozen people had already been vaccinated.
According to the organizer Günter Fiebig, the flea market went “very well”.
The uncertainty disappears, more people would dare to leave the house again.
The weather also played a role.
It was "nice but not too hot," he says.
Some came from Kaufbeuren and Memmingen to the flea market
Dimi Emanil is one of the people who traveled relatively far.
The man from Kaufbeuren with 25 years of flea market experience appreciates that Peißenberg also finds buyers for hand-carved wooden figures that bring him up to 100 euros.
Rosi Keilhofer also expects a lot from Peißenberg.
She came from Kronburg near Memmingen to sell her "collected works" here.
“Kitchen stuff is always good,” she says.
Regarding the effort involved in her recycling campaign, the Swabian says: "You have to do it, otherwise you need to go to the flea market."
Mandy Michel and Astrid Molitor from Huglfing came to shop because they furnished their apartments in the retro style of the 50s and 60s.
According to their experience, they only find what they are looking for at flea markets.
