Wolfratshausen - It's the biggest treasure hunt in the district: At the weekend, more than 160 courtyards and gardens open their doors in Wolfratshausen and present discarded furniture, nice decorations, clothing, toys and other large and small treasures: The courtyard and garden flea market is taking place again.

By the registration deadline last Monday, 160 participants had registered for the event.

Several households are involved in some of them, "and experience has shown that some will be added at short notice," says Eva-Maria Rühling from the neighborhood help citizens for citizens.

The association organizes the new edition of the flea market.

The neighborhood help itself also runs a sales stand – the proceeds flow into the association's treasury.

The principle of the event is easy to explain: In the city area, private individuals offer discarded items in their gardens, driveways or courtyards.

In the past, the flea markets were a social get-together: some combined the weekend flea market with a neighborhood festival, others served their visitors drinks and struck up conversation while strolling.

Passers-by can tell which gardens are worth browsing by the colorful balloons that the participants use to decorate their plots.

Professional traders are not allowed to participate in the promotion.

"The Wolfratshauser courtyard and garden flea markets are a neighborhood, non-commercial campaign" can be found in the "Rules of the Game" on the homepage.

The flea market officially opens at 2 p.m. on both Saturday, June 25 and Sunday, June 26 – but in recent years many participants have started to greet guests and set up their stalls earlier.

Shopping on Saturday and Sunday everywhere in Wolfratshausen

This time, the campaign will be spread over two days: On Saturday, guests will stroll through the northern part of the city – that is, through Weidach, Nantwein and the old town.

The gardens in Wolfratshausen's south open on Sunday - i.e. in Farchet, Waldram and the industrial area.

This division is intended to make it easier for dealers and customers to visit: "Many people who want to sell something themselves would otherwise not have the opportunity to visit other farms," ​​explains Rühling.

And it is also much more pleasant for the visitors, "because the sales outlets are then closer together on the respective days".
