Markthalle Neun offers a pretty cosy place to do most of your shopping. Fruit and vegetables can be found here, of course, as well as meats and fish. But also chopping boards made from fine olive wood. At Pan Messer, you can also expand your repertoire of sharp kitchen tools. Stefan Wolfers and his team import handmade knives from a small village in Vietnam with a strong emphasis on fair trade and the preservation of local craft traditions, which are increasingly being jeopardised by cheap imports.

With a knife from Stefan, you are buying a sharpened, original piece with character and a story. A kitchen companion that – with good care – should accompany you for a very long time.
