Advent Market in the Kommisse Wolfenbüttel

The Advent Market in the Kommisse in Wolfenbüttel, an annual highlight during the pre-Christmas season, traditionally takes place on the weekends of Advent. This festive event, deeply rooted in local culture, attracts visitors from near and far.

Wolfenbüttel, known for its rich history and architectural beauty, provides an ideal backdrop for this atmospheric market. The historical Kommisse, a magnificent building formerly used as a grain store, lends a unique ambiance to the market. In its shadow, the market stalls extend, blending harmoniously into the historical surroundings and offering visitors an authentic experience.

The market's uniqueness lies in its almost familial atmosphere. Instead of the size and hustle of many Christmas markets, the Advent Market in the Kommisse offers a quieter, more contemplative experience. The stalls feature a variety of handmade goods, traditional Christmas items, and regional specialties.

A special feature of the market is the traditional delicacies and beverages on offer. Visitors can look forward to hearty treats like bratwurst, Schmalzkuchen (a type of fried pastry), and Pfefferkuchen (gingerbread). For those seeking warmth, there's mulled wine and hot apple punch, particularly welcome during the cold season.

It's the combination of historical ambiance, regional products, and the warm hospitality of the city that makes this market so special and worth visiting.

The Advent Market in the Kommisse in Wolfenbüttel took place from Friday, 20. December to Sunday, 22. December 2024.
