Christmas market Langen

The Langen Christmas Market, an annual highlight during the Advent season, takes place on the first two Advent weekends from Friday to Sunday, transforming Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz into a Christmas wonderland. This idyllic location, surrounded by historic buildings and beneath the Protestant town church, gives the market, with over 40 charming wooden huts, a perfect blend of festive atmosphere and regional authenticity..

The Christmas Market is organized by the Traffic and Beautification Association 1877 e.V., renowned for its extensive experience in promoting local culture and tradition.

The Vierröhrenbrunnen, a central feature of the square, often serves as a meeting point and starting point for exploring the market. From here, visitors can stroll to the town church or explore Bachgasse towards Schneidhiwwel-Platz. The market stalls, spread out in this picturesque setting, offer a variety of local delicacies and crafts. From homemade cookies to personalized Christmas baubles, from artistic jewelry to hearty game specialties - the selection is impressive and caters to every taste. A special feature of the market is the variety of musical performances and choir singing that create a festive mood. Culinary delights for visitors include traditional treats like chestnuts, grilled food, mulled wine, and roasted almonds.
