The Freiberg Christmas Market, an annual event traditionally held from the last week of November until December 22, is a festive highlight in the charming city of Freiberg. Since its first event in 1990, the market has evolved into one of the most significant Christmas markets in Germany.
Often referred to as the "Silver City," Freiberg provides a picturesque setting for this festive market. The city's historic architecture and mining past create a unique atmosphere that perfectly complements the spirit of the Christmas Market. Organized by the Freiberg City Marketing, the event not only focuses on event planning but also promotes local trade and tourism.
The Christmas Market is located at Obermarkt, in the heart of the city. Here, the market stalls blend harmoniously into the cityscape, surrounded by impressive historical buildings that add a special atmosphere to the market. The stalls extend across several streets and squares, each area having its own charm.
Visitors to the market can look forward to a variety of specialties. In addition to traditional Christmas decorations and handmade gifts, the market offers a selection of local delicacies. Culinary highlights include typical Saxon treats and warm beverages, particularly welcome during the cold season.
The popularity of the Freiberg Christmas Market is due in no small part to its unique atmosphere and high-quality products. A distinctive feature of this market is the combination of traditional craftsmanship and local culture, providing visitors with an authentic experience.
The market is easily accessible by public transport, and ample parking is available nearby. Finally, it's worth noting that according to a 2008 MDR survey, the Freiberg Christmas Market was voted one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Germany. A visit to this market promises not just festive joy but also an unforgettable cultural experience.
The Christmas Market takes place annually, and therefore for the 34th time previsibly in December 2025 in Freiberg.
