Christmas fair Straubing

The Straubing Christmas market, an annual highlight during the Advent season, offers a festive atmosphere appreciated by locals and tourists alike. It traditionally takes place at Ludwigsplatz and Theresienplatz, with market stalls stretching from the Jakobsbrunnen to the Dreifaltigkeitssäule.

The origin of this market dates back to the history of Straubing, a city known for its rich culture and tradition. Straubing, located in the heart of Bavaria, with its historical squares and buildings like the city tower, provides the ideal setting for this festive market. The Christkindlmarkt is organized by the city's marketing and tourism information, responsible not only for the organization but also for enlivening the city with such events.

Particularly noteworthy are the picturesque backdrops of Ludwigsplatz and Theresienplatz, framed by significant buildings that create a unique atmosphere. The market stalls offer a diverse range: from traditional nativity figures made by local craftsmen to a variety of culinary delights like mulled wine and sausages.

For children, there are special attractions like the popular children's train at Ludwigsplatz and the Straubing nativity scene. Live music fills the squares from Thursday to Saturday, making the market a meeting point for social hours.

Straubing itself, a city of great historical significance, offers many attractions like the city tower, the city's landmark, the Tiburtius fountain, or the Dreifaltigkeitssäule on Theresienplatz, to name just a few. Thus, the Christkindlmarkt is not only a place for Christmas shopping but also an occasion to explore the city and its history.

In summary, the Straubing Christkindlmarkt is an event that combines tradition and festive spirit, offering visitors a unique experience in a historically rich city.
