The onion market in Boppard has a long tradition; it dates back to the late Middle Ages, when onion suppliers from a nearby island on the Rhine sold their onion harvest in Boppard. Back then, the harvest was brought to Boppard by barge and boat.
Although onions can still be bought today, there are also a variety of other illustrious things to buy, making a visit to Boppard these days well worthwhile. The stalls in the Rheinallee in front of the large hotels and on the market square are a hive of activity. This year's market will leave nothing to be desired for its visitors; it has lost nothing of its originality since time immemorial.
