In the location's words:

Just as in the Middle Ages, Halle’s market square is a hub and commercial center in the heart of the city. Where tram lines intersect today, horse-drawn carriages once traveled. A total of 14 streets lead to the square, where people meet at the produce stand to do their weekly shopping or enjoy a coffee amid the hustle and bustle of city life. For centuries, the four towers of the Marktkirche and the Red Tower on the square have defined the skyline of the “City of Five Towers.” The bronze statue of composer George Frideric Handel, who was born in Halle (Saale), has been an eye-catcher and meeting place since 1859. Incidentally, if you follow Handel’s gaze, you’ll be looking toward London, his adopted home.
