Traditionally in December, when days are shorter and nights longer, the market square in the heart of the city shines in festive splendor..

Helmstedt, rich in historical significance and architecture, provides the perfect setting for this festive market. The unique atmosphere is enhanced by the characteristic buildings around the market square, including impressive half-timbered houses and the old town hall, which give the market an almost fairy-tale setting.
