"Kieler Umschlag" is the name of the annually Old Town Festival, which was founded by Kiel's merchants in 1975. The original historical turnover lasted to the 19th century and can be explained with exchanging, bartering, thus everything that has to do with trade and exchange.







It was in this respect a market, where credits were offered and asked for.
