The
Old Market Square
is the heart of
Bielefeld’s
historic old town and is surrounded by magnificent old Patrician houses. The
Crüwell house features an ornate late Gothic stepped gable of 1530; its
staircase and corridors are decorated with 7,000
Delft tiles dating from the 16
th
to 18
th centuries.
Bielefeld’s
second municipal theatre is also located in the
Old Market Square. Many small retail shops, an interesting
gastronomic scene and attractive open air events give the old town its own
unique flair all year round.
