Historical Christmas Market Lübeck

The Historic Christmas Market in Lübeck, taking place annually from the last week of November until December 23rd, is a unique event that transports visitors to the fascinating world of the Middle Ages. Located in the churchyard of St. Mary's, the market is characterized by the stunning backdrop of St. Mary's Church, an impressive brick edifice, lending an unparalleled atmosphere to the market..

Lübeck, as a city with a rich history and impressive architecture, provides the perfect setting for this market. A notable feature of this market is its medieval flair. In this historical ambiance, copper and silversmiths, pewterers, and other craftsmen showcase their skills. On the stage, jesters and musicians in historical costumes offer top-notch entertainment. In the evenings, when large fire barrels are lit, the market, with medieval music and the crackling of flames in the fire barrels, offers a particularly cozy atmosphere. Here, visitors can gather around a cup of mead to warm themselves.

Traditional delicacies and drinks, such as mead and gingerbread, enhance the experience. The market spans the entire churchyard, with each stall offering something unique, be it culinary specialties or artisanal products.

The Historical Christmas Market will take place on 29 days from Monday, 25. November to Monday, 23. December 2024 in Lübeck.
