Europe's largest market place has occupied these converted Zeppelin hangars since its inaugural year in 1930, and still retains the lively feel of a traditional trade emporium.
Each of the five hangars, or 'pavilions', has a different speciality - such as meat, fish, groceries and dairy products, whilst the numerous stalls and canopies around the hangars sell everything from fresh produce to cheap socks and DVDs.
