Buddenbergplatz (Buddenberg-square) is a main square on the backside of Bochum main station which has no specific purpose most of the time, but twice a week it is transformed into a farmers market also including coffee and pastry stands. 

During that days, it becomes a vivid meeting point for the neighborhood and represents a growing desire of the german public for outdoor coffee spaces, street markets and other meeting points, also called Mediterraneanization.
