Tips & Advice

  • Use the storage spot for your stroller or rollator if you want to see the longhouse booths and the vault, because only the church hall is step-free.
  • Register in advance if you are coming as a group, because groups enter through a separate entrance and only a limited number are admitted.
  • Leave time to explore all three spaces, the church hall, the longhouse and the vault, because the roughly 100 makers are spread across them.
  • Bring the children along, because kids up to 16 get in free and pupils and students pay a reduced rate.
  • Shop knowing that volunteers run the market and the full net proceeds go to cultural and social projects in Lübeck.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of crafts can I find?

About 100 makers sell jewelry and ironwork, ceramics and porcelain, glass, hand weaving, hats and textile accessories, and children's clothing and dolls. There are also leather and other bags, wooden toys, turned woodwork, Erzgebirge nativity scenes and pyramids, paper art, prints and watercolors, baskets, brooms and brushes.

Who are the exhibitors?

They come from all over Germany and other European countries, and they show both old and new craft techniques. Some have taken part for many years. Each year, places also go to young up-and-coming craftspeople, so new trends are on show too.

Where does the money go?

More than 200 women from the Lübeck group of Deutscher Verband Frau und Kultur run the market as volunteers. The full net proceeds go to cultural and social projects in Lübeck.

Can I get around with a wheelchair, rollator or stroller?

Only the church hall is accessible with a wheelchair, rollator or stroller. The longhouse with its small booths and the vault are not. There is a place to leave them.

Can we visit as a group?

Yes. Groups can come in through a separate entrance if they register in advance. Group numbers are limited, and requests go to Christiane Kreusch.
