From May to October, people meet on Saturdays on the east side of Landsgemeindeplatz behind the Kreuzkapelle for shopping and a chat at the "Ferdinand".

The regional fresh produce market in the middle of the village of Appenzell is intended to provide an incentive to shop more locally again, to meet up and generally to further revitalize the village with attractive products: Small and fine, with beautiful things, well assorted: ecological, organic, local, practical, innovative, contemporary, imaginative, handcrafted ...

In addition to the weekly traders who offer food, guests are invited to present and sell their products here. These may be fresh produce or handicrafts.

The market is named after the artist Ferdinand Gehr, who designed the stained glass windows of the Kreuzkapelle chapel in Appenzell in 1964. The name also means "bold protector", which accompanies the market operators throughout the season.
