Tips & Advice

  • Stop by the Altes Rathaus during your visit, because its family activities are part of the market program along with live music and the children's carousel.
  • Shop the local clubs' stalls for handmade gift ideas and Christmas specialties, since the clubs run both the food and the gifts.
  • Keep in mind that photos, audio and video are recorded throughout the market for the city's channels, and visiting counts as consent.
  • Dress warmly for an evening outdoors on Apostelplatz, since the market stays open into the evening on Friday and Saturday.
