Since 2003, a new market fountain created by the Aachen artist Bonifatius Stirnberg serves as a reminder of the once bustling market activity that took place here. Its form is inspired by its historical predecessor, which stood here from 1582 to 1835.Surrounding the historic marketplace are buildings predominantly from the 16th century, which still testify to the great economic prosperity of the city during the Renaissance, based on the trade of salt.At Market 38:From the Brandes family comes the \"greatest son\" of the city: Rudolph Brandes (1795-1842), who made a name for himself as a natural scientist and researcher, pharmacist, co-founder, and long-time chief director of the \"Pharmacists' Association\" in northern Germany. His estate, including an extensive scientific library, is preserved in the Salzufler city archives.
