Strohmann Markt

Strohmann Markt lies at the edge of the Teubrücke, where it connects to the fortified Precinct district. A relatively small, open square, it hosts a number of stalls by day, selling a wide variety of food and clothing.

Hocheim’s Livery Stables dominates one side of the platz, where visitors to Ubersreik can stable their horses. Civilians are prohibited from riding within the Precinct, so the stables do a roaring trade as riders are turned back at the gates from the Docks. The nobility are, of course, exempt from this restriction.

Scarred and wrinkled Sabina Hocheim owns Hocheim’s Livery Stables. An enterprising war veteran, she spends her last days sitting on a cushioned chair beneath the eaves of her business. She watches while her nephews and nieces do the work, and intends for them to inherit the business.

Next door to the stables, Marlies Zeitflug recently opened a small shop selling hourglasses and timepieces. Such devices are a luxury, so business has largely collapsed in the current uncertain environment, and Zeitflug is growing more concerned every day.
