Because then they will not exceed primary agricultural production. This includes products from Orchards, agriculture and horticulture, fishing, beekeeping, hunting and poultry farming. In addition milk, dairy products and margarine.
If the original production is exceeded because the products are further processed, a business must be registered — or even a travel industry. The Street sales, as is common with strawberries, asparagus or pumpkins, for example, is considered special use, for which permission must be obtained. Market stalls are also excluded from the travel industry if the weekly market is set by the municipality. Defined markets However, as a market industry, are subject to Gewerbeordnung. This means that market stands must be registered with the trade office.
Is a weekly market by the organizer personal or legal entity Having been registered with the competent local authority, the trade code applies when the application has been approved. Stands at weekly markets are then subject to notification as travel industry excluded.
For example, if you sell agricultural products at stands outside a fixed weekly market, you need a travel business license. You can apply for this from the trade office, for which a processing fee will be charged. The need results from the fact that the travel industry is less easy to control.

Goods that are an integral part of a classic weekly market include, of course, fruit, vegetables, sausage and cheese, or even bread. However, the range is becoming more and more diverse. There are stalls selling spices, honey, sweets such as licorice, other specialities, flowers and plants, but also handicrafts from vendors from the surrounding area or the region. Drinks and stands with food such as fish, fries, fried potatoes and so on are also well received.
