Claus Markt der schönen Dinge
Visitors can browse unique, lovingly crafted design items and gifts presented by around 120 exhibitors from across Germany and the Netherlands. Rather than a traditional Christmas market, the indoor hall offers an unconventional shopping experience focused on creative goods. Outside behind the hall, visitors can explore a dedicated gastronomy area.

The food stalls are outside in the Bunter Garten behind the Kaiser-Friedrich-Halle. Entry there is free, and they stay open later than the indoor market.
Can I see who is exhibiting before I go?
Yes. Many exhibitors are already listed on the Claus website, and more are being added in the weeks before the market.
Can I still apply as an exhibitor?
The main application period is over. A few places were kept for special items, but not for bags or jewelry. Applications go by email to bewerbung@mein-claus.de.
