Miesbach – On Thursday (December 22nd) Miesbach's Mayor Gerhard Braunmiller said goodbye to two long-time fierants who were retiring.

Every Thursday, visitors from near and far flock to the "Green Market" in Miesbach's town centre.

If you ask Irmgard Kern what is so special about the Miesbach weekly market, then after a moment's thought you get: "The rural area, the people here are much more original and the trust shown here is unique.

You're happy to stand in the market square in all weathers."

Kern, who lives in Schechen near Rosenheim, has been to the “Green Market” in Miesbach every Thursday for 38 years.

First on her own, then together with her daughter and son-in-law, she runs her own nursery and still grows everything “by hand”, as she says herself.

At their stand you can buy fresh fruit, vegetables and various plant seedlings.

"There are people like us, they are from home," is the conclusion of master gardener Alois Dimpflmaier.

His wife Andrea and he were represented at the weekly market for 30 years with fruit, vegetables, but also their own spice and seed mix and teas.

For Dimpflmaier, the Miesbacher market is above all special because the market people were always allowed to have a say.

Traders and market people always work together, not against each other as in other towns, praises Dimpflmaier.

Even if Kern and Dimpflmaier will no longer be at the market place every Thursday, they can still be reached on a few days.

Kern is with her seed plants for three weeks in the coming season in Miesbach and Dimpflmaier with his stand at the Fastenmarkt on April 2nd and 3rd and at the Michaelimarkt on September 17th and 18th.
