Marktplatz

A Marktplatz, or marketplace, is a central area—either physical or digital—where buyers and sellers come together to exchange goods, services, or information. Traditionally, it referred to town squares hosting vendors and traders, but today it often signifies online platforms like e-commerce websites. Its purpose is to facilitate transactions efficiently, providing a space where various offerings are visible and accessible. Marktplatzes can specialize in specific products or serve as general markets, fostering economic activity and community engagement by connecting those who need products with those who supply them.
