Christmas market Baruth

The Glashütte Christmas Market, a traditional highlight of the Advent season, takes place each year on the first weekend of Advent in the museum village of Baruther Glashütte. This small, historic glassmaker’s village, set in the picturesque landscape of Brandenburg, transforms into a charming Christmas market, drawing numerous visitors..

The town of Baruth, particularly the heritage-protected district of Glashütte, provides the ideal setting for this festive market. The market spans the entire museum village, centered around the old workers' houses. These historic buildings lend the market a unique atmosphere, recalling the long tradition of glassblowing that has flourished here since the 18th century. The lovingly restored half-timbered houses and workshops create an authentic, nostalgic backdrop, enhanced by festive lights and seasonal decorations.

Market stalls wind through the narrow, romantic streets, leading up to the prominent buildings of the old glassworks. Visitors can browse a wide selection of artisanal goods, including glass art, traditional Christmas decorations, and handcrafted gifts. A particular focus is on locally made products: visitors can watch glass artists at work, experiencing the craft up close.

Another highlight is the variety of traditional holiday treats and beverages that complete the market experience. From hearty fare like bratwurst and sautéed mushrooms to sweet delights like candied almonds and homemade cookies, there’s something for every taste. Mulled wine and hot apple cider are especially popular, creating a warm atmosphere on cold winter evenings.

The market is easy for visitors to reach, with ample parking available around the village. It’s also accessible by public transportation, as the area is well-connected to the regional network.

The Glashütte Christmas Market is more than just a shopping experience; it offers a journey into the past and a chance to experience the culture and history of this special place in a reflective way. This annual event combines tradition and holiday spirit, making it a popular gathering spot for visitors from near and far.
