Christmas market Krefeld

The Christmas market in Krefeld is a festive institution that attracts visitors from all over the region and lights up the heart of the city during the pre-Christmas period. Annually, from the end of November until December 23rd, a special magic fills the air around Dionysiusplatz – right at the foot of the historic St. Dionysius Church, whose impressive architecture provides a picturesque backdrop for the bustling activity of the market.

The city of Krefeld itself, with its rich history and cultural diversity, is a predestined location for such an event. The city administration is responsible as the organizer, not only taking charge of the market's organization but also contributing its expertise in areas such as safety, infrastructure, and culture to make the Christmas market an unforgettable experience.

The market extends beyond Dionysiusplatz into adjacent areas, with stalls artfully decorated and lovingly detailed. Here, visitors find everything their hearts desire: from artisanal crafts to Christmas ornaments and warm winter accessories.

The Krefeld Christmas market's uniqueness is manifold. It is a blend of traditional elements and modern touches that distinguish the market. Visitors can enjoy a ride on the nostalgic carousel or listen to the sounds of Christmas music, regularly performed by local music groups.

A distinctive feature of this market is the diverse culinary offerings. Traditional delicacies such as roasted apples, gingerbread, and marzipan loaves tempt the palate, as do the mulled wine and egg punch, comforting and warming in hand.

In conclusion, the Krefeld Christmas market is not just a place for shopping and contemplation but also a social hub where people come together to celebrate the pre-Christmas season. It reflects the spirit of the city where tradition and modernity, contemplation and festive joy go hand in hand.
