The Viktualienmarkt is a daily food market and a square in the center of Munich. It developted from an original farmers' market to a popular market for gourmets. It has 140 stalls and shops for flowers, exotic fruit, game, poultry, spices, cheese, and so on. It also has a Biergarten. The Maypole in the center carries figurettes displaying the trades and crafts of this part of Munich. Maypoles date from the ages of general illiteracy and served to represent a village or later, as in this case, a borough and its trades to travelling salesmen or craftsmen looking for a new master to learn from.
