Christmas market Bielefeld

The Bielefeld Christmas Market, an annual highlight during the Advent season, traditionally opens its gates from the end of November until just before New Year's Eve. The market reflects the region and its inhabitants, driven by a spirit of community and festive gathering..

This festive event is organized by Bielefeld Marketing GmbH, which is responsible not only for the market's splendid presentation but also for the cultural program and strengthening the local community. The Old Market, the heart of the old town, forms the picturesque backdrop of the Christmas market, enriched by historical buildings like the Old Town's St. Nicholas Church, which give the market a unique atmosphere.

The market stalls wind through the entire city center, offering a diversity that attracts visitors from near and far. Here, one can stroll among more than 110 individually designed booths, which hold everything from traditional handicrafts to Christmas treats. The scent of mulled wine and sweet delicacies, the glow of the decorations, and the festive music make the Bielefeld Christmas Market an unforgettable experience.

A distinctive feature of the market is the combination of traditional charm and modern elements. While contemporary design elements can be admired at Jahnplatz, the "House of St. Nicholas" at the Old Town Church Square offers a rustic flair. The opportunity to go ice skating and curling at the Klosterplatz completes the diverse offerings.

Visitors can look forward to a selection of traditional delicacies, including bratwurst, potato pancakes, and gingerbread. Artisanal products and creative gift ideas provide a wonderful opportunity to discover special Christmas presents.

In summary, the Bielefeld Christmas Market is worth visiting not only for its size and the variety of stalls and activities but also for its special ambiance that enchants visitors anew each year.

The Christmas market will take place on 36 days from Monday, 25. November to Monday, 30. December 2024 in Bielefeld.
