Advent market Wirsberg

The Wirsberg Advent Market, an event full of romance and tradition, takes place every year on the first Sunday of Advent. The market stalls are set up around the market square and the town hall square. The market is organized by the municipal administration, which creates an unforgettable experience each year with its expertise and competence.

A highlight of the market is the medieval association, which sets up its camp at the town hall square. Visitors can watch the blacksmith at work and purchase hand-forged artworks. A diverse stage program provides musical and festive entertainment, ranging from Christ Child and little angels to music performances and a visit from Saint Nicholas.

The culinary variety is impressive: from different variations of mulled wine and children's punch to Jagertee, mulled gin, and non-alcoholic beverages, there is something for every taste. Culinary delicacies like bratwurst, steaks, Angus burgers, baked Leberkäse, Viennese sausages, goulash from the goulash cannon, grilled cheese sausages, soups, fish sandwiches, smoked goods, homemade waffles, roasted almonds, and much more satisfy hunger and offer a true feast for the senses.

Wirsberg itself, historically significant, also offers interesting sights beyond the market. Attractions such as the ruins of the Heilings Church near Neufang: The ruin is the freestanding front wall of the former pilgrimage church from the 15th century and offers an insight into medieval architecture and history. Or the protected market square ensemble: This includes a historic half-timbered town hall and the Wappenrose fountain. The market square itself is a place steeped in history, reflecting the local architecture and culture. The picturesque surroundings also invite exploration tours, perfectly complementing a visit to the Advent Market.

In conclusion, this market is not only a place for shopping and entertainment but also a meeting point where community and Christmas joy are celebrated. It is a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience the special atmosphere of a traditional German Christmas market.

The Advent market takes place annually, and therefore for the 40th time previsibly in December 2025 in Wirsberg.
