Christmas market Herne

The Herne Christmas market, an annual event that captures the hearts of visitors with its festive atmosphere, takes place every year from mid-November to December 23rd. The market is closed on Sundays. This time, when the city is aglow with lights, invites locals and visitors from the surrounding area to get into the spirit of the season.

Herne, with its central location in the heart of the Ruhr region, offers the ideal setting for a Christmas market thanks to its accessibility and warm-hearted community. Robert-Brauner-Platz, named after a former mayor of the city, transforms into a magical place where the tradition of the Christmas market unfolds anew each year.

The market is organized by Stadtmarketing Herne GmbH, whose expertise in urban development and marketing ensures that the market is a special experience each year. Their expertise turns the Herne Christmas Market into an unforgettable event that attracts both the local community and visitors from afar.

The market stalls, stretching from Robert-Brauner-Platz to Boulevard Bahnhofstraße, offer a variety of handicrafts and traditional delicacies. Particularly remarkable are the craft huts, where artisans demonstrate their skills and create unique gifts. This commitment to craftsmanship gives the market an authentic charm and makes it a magnet for lovers of handmade treasures.

The Modern Wirtshaus Herne adds a special atmosphere, its façade forming an appealing contrast to the traditional flair of the stalls in the background. Here, visitors can warm up and enjoy the local gastronomy.

Culinary-wise, the Herne Christmas Market has much to offer: from classic mulled wine and roasted almonds to hearty dishes that make you forget the winter chill. The traditional treats are not only a delight for the palate but also a feast for the senses.

The market is easily accessible by public transport, and there are also parking options for visitors arriving by car. The good connections make the Herne Christmas Market an easily accessible meeting point.
