Christmas market Kaufbeuren

The Kaufbeuren Christmas Market, an annual highlight during the Advent season, enchants visitors with its unique atmosphere. Located in the heart of the Allgäu, on the medieval St. Martin's Church Square, this market exudes an incomparable flair that accentuates the historical backdrop of the surrounding buildings..

With numerous market huts - most of them made of wood - and a children's carousel, the market presents a beautiful and uniform picture. Visitors will find artisanal gift ideas and delicious Christmas treats at the market stalls. The extensive program of events and stage performances offers daily variety and entertainment for all ages.

Organized by Kaufbeuren Marketing and the Tourist Information e.V., the market offers a wonderful mix of traditional and modern elements. The market stalls, stretching across the entire church square, allure with a variety of artisanal gift ideas and culinary delights – from sweet treats to hearty dishes. Especially noteworthy are the traditional Christmas delicacies and drinks, which add a touch of Christmas magic to every visit.

For children, the market becomes a magical experience. The "Christ Child Post Office" is a special attraction, where children can submit their wish lists, hoping their wishes will be fulfilled. On St. Nicholas' Day, children experience another surprise when St. Nicholas himself appears, surrounded by a host of glittering angels, distributing gifts.

Besides the market activities, it's also worth exploring the historic city of Kaufbeuren itself, which impresses with its attractions such as the Town Hall, the Five-Head Tower, or the Witch Tower, and its history. The Christmas market is not only a feast for the senses but also a place of encounter and coziness, enchanting both young and old.
