Weihnachtsmarkt Kölner Altstadt Cologne
25 Nov. - 23 Dec. 2024 | Christmas market Alter Markt in Cologne's old town
The Christmas market in Cologne's Old Town, an annual feast for the senses and traditions, transports visitors to a world of festive cheer. Traditionally, the market unfolds during the Advent season, up until December 23rd. Its roots date back to 1820, making it one of Germany's most historic markets. "Heinzels Wintermärchen," the Christmas market, is not only the oldest but also the largest in Cologne..
Cologne, with its distinctive skyline, is predestined for such an event, offering a picturesque backdrop with the Old Market. Its proximity to the imposing Cologne Cathedral adds an atmospheric depth that captivates visitors. Organized by Heinzel GmbH, which is responsible not only for the management but also brings additional expertise in the design and execution of the market, the Christmas market becomes a magical place of community and celebration.
Market stalls line up along the Old Market, stretching from Heumarkt to the banks of the Rhine. Visitors can expect a variety of specialties: from intricately crafted handwork and live nativity plays to a Christmas tree that glows amidst the hustle and bustle. The stalls offer traditional delicacies – from roasted almonds and classic mulled wine to savory treats like potato pancakes and bratwurst.
What makes the market distinctive is its special feature – the "Heinzelmännchen," figures from a Cologne legend, who watch over the market as its motto and give it its unique character. The vibrant history and culture of Cologne are reflected in every detail.
The market is conveniently accessible, whether on foot from the nearby city center, by public transport, or even by boat via the Rhine. In conclusion, the Cologne Christmas market is an experience that warms the heart and enhances the anticipation of the holiday season. Here, historical splendor combines with festive grandeur to create an unforgettable experience that keeps visitors returning year after year.
The Weihnachtsmarkt Kölner Altstadt will take place on 29 days from Monday, 25. November to Monday, 23. December 2024 in Cologne.
