New Year's reception 2025 and presentation of 2nd newspaper/wrapping sheet
At a temperature of around 0 degrees, a cup of Glühwein or hot chocolate was a delicious drink to toast to 2025 with each other. After the Corona pandemic, the revival of the Noordermarkt has accelerated. We toasted to the survival of the Noordermarkt and actually also to all other markets in Amsterdam.
Akelei, Eliane, Fabian
We are very grateful to the creative team from left to right Akelei Hertzberger (unique jewellery), Eliane Beyer (graphic designer at Joseph Plateau) en Fabian (photography) on Instagram The eyes of the street for this beautiful edition, which was again very positively received by the public. The 2nd newspaper/wrapping sheet was inevitable, after the success of the 1st newspaper, in which 400 years of Noordermarkt were celebrated. In the 2nd edition, the market entrepreneurs introduce themselves to the public. Both good for the solidarity among each other, but also for the customers and tourists who have the Noordermarkt at heart. Also take a look at NEWS about the social fabric of the city.

Amsterdam is THE market city of Holland
Below the ‘Noorderkerk', on one of the cities most beautiful squares, the Noordermarkt takes place on Mondays and Saturdays.This market has a tradition that originated in the seventeenth century. Through the ages this market has been organised, daily, weekly and annually. Together with other markets in Amsterdam the Noordermarkt was of great importance for the development and flourishing of the city in the golden age. To this day, the Noordermarkt fullfills an essential social and economic role in Amsterdam. It has remained important through dynamic adaptability in changing times. The interaction between the demands of modern consumers and creative market traders has always been of great significance for the attractive present day Noordermarkt.
The original 17th century Pottery market (since 1623) sold utensils and items for daily use to the inhabitants of Amsterdam. After a long ‘journey’ through the years, we often find them back on the stalls of antique and curiosity sellers. These artifacts tell cultural and historical stories about their use in kitchens, living rooms and cellars. Their status is not obvious. Nowadays they have to compete with objects made for the same purpose with modern materials. During the years the range of the market has extended with clothes and accessories. Possibly we can find images of these items in paintings from for example Rembrandt. He was a great collector of these kind of objects and lived in the neighbourhood. Some current visitors continue to believe that they will find a prop between the trade that escaped the merchant’s look.
