Christmas market Ettlingen

The Ettlingen Sternlesmarkt, a charming Christmas market, takes place annually from late November to late December in the picturesque setting of Ettlingen's old town. This traditional market, which extends over the historic marketplace, is enriched by the unique architecture of the city. Particularly striking is Ettlingen Castle, whose imposing facade forms the backdrop of the market, creating an unparalleled atmosphere.

The market stalls, stretching along the winding alleys of the old town to the marketplace, offer a variety of handicrafts, regional products, and Christmas decorations. A special highlight is the living Advent calendar, displayed on the facade of Ettlingen Castle – each day in December, a new "door" is opened.

Visitors to the Sternlesmarkt have much to discover: from traditional treats like gingerbread, roasted almonds, and Christstollen, to savory delicacies and a selection of warm beverages, including mulled wine and hot apple cider. These culinary delights are an essential part of the market experience.

The Ettlingen Sternlesmarkt is not only popular for its unique atmosphere and the variety of products but also for the warm hospitality visitors experience here.
