Flea market on Boxhagener Platz: Children's regulatory office sells
at the popular flea market on Boxhagener Platz in Friedrichshain, a place that is estimated by locals and tourists alike, last Sunday, September 1st, an unexpected incident caused a lot of excitement. While the market visitors enjoy the multitude of stands and the charm of the diagram, some children who were sitting between the stands with their ceilings and for sale were asked by the regulatory office to vacate the place.
Witnesses reported on the scene when the employees of the regulatory office intervened in the Situation. The children, who had often started sales campaigns undisturbed in the past, were put under pressure and finally had to clear their ceilings. An eyewitness described the procedure as "incredible". This well -rehearsed practice that children with their own stalls on the flea market offered their things suddenly no longer seemed to be tolerated.
Reasons for the intervention of the regulatory office
The question of why the regulatory office took measures right now quickly became loud. The Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district office said that the market management was carried out. The market management had so far tolerated the practice of children's sales, but the situation was now escalated so that even the market operators were no longer satisfied with the situation.
The district office pointed out that in the past, especially "the trade of adults accompanied by their children" had not been objected to. However, this goodwill had led to more and more adults to use the placement of their own business opportunities, which finally called on the schedule. On top of that, significant deviations from mere toy sales were found during the control: children's clothing and other goods were also found on the ceilings that were not explained in more detail. This could have given the impression that children's advertising went beyond the harmless sales.
The influence on the flea market
The regulatory office not only limited itself to the children, but also spoke out oral warnings against about 22 stands on the green area and informed the adults about the need to rent tables and stands in order to be able to take part in the market. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming weeks. The measure could potentially change the dynamics and flair of one of the most charming flea markets in Berlin, a place that has become a weekly habit and a cultural highlight for many.
In recent years, various movements within the community have pleaded for stronger regulation and order in public sales areas. The events on Boxhagener Platz throw a light on the balancing act, which must be preserved between the freedom of sellers, especially the children, and the need for order and regulations. The flea market, known for its diversity and lively atmosphere, is now faced with the challenge of adapting to these new guidelines and at the same time maintaining its character.
