Second Marketplace

About

The Zweite Handelsplatz was a secondhand department store in Bochum. Across a large sales floor, it offered a wide-ranging selection of secondhand furniture, household items, books, clothing, and artworks.

As a popular destination for bric-a-brac and historical finds, the establishment shaped local shopping life for many years before the long-standing venue permanently closed its doors.
