The Kathrini annual market on the main square of Stainz is enjoying unbroken popularity. Last Monday, the festive day of St. Katharina, numerous visitors flocked to the market to discover the variety of articles on offer. Saint Katharina is worshiped in the region as the patron saint of the parish church, and its connection to the market has a long tradition that extends until 1218 when market rights were granted for Stainz.

The arrival of the market drivers who have preserved tradition over the centuries ensures a large number every year. It is remarkable how the market has developed over the years. In the past, travelers had to travel with horse -drawn carriages to offer their goods, while everything is much easier today: visitors can easily get to the market within a short time and enjoy the large offer.

The offer on the Kathrini market was again complex and multifaceted. From toys to clothing, wood and leather goods to regional food- market drivers have something for everyone. A visitor, Anton H., proudly expressed that he bought his shoes on the market last year and still wearing it.

The market not only offers an opportunity to shop, but also for exchange. Visitors to Peter G. from Ligist make it a habit to visit the market and enjoy a “G’miatlich’s coffeecherl”. The Senior Center for Stainz also regularly sends a delegation because the market is a welcome change for the clients.

The market drivers themselves are satisfied with the sales figures and the general mood. Rudolf W. emphasized that he prefers to be there on school -free days because more people can then be expected. This connection between buyers and sellers creates an informal atmosphere that many visitors appreciate.

The preservation of this tradition and the attraction of the market are essential elements that have made the Kathrini market an integral part of local life. The combination of shops and social interaction is a recipe for success that will continue to trigger enthusiasm in the future.
