Schlachte-Zauber an der Weserpromenade Bremen

In the organizer's words:

Maritime Schlachte magic

Just a few meters away, the wintry Schlachte magic bathes the promenade on the banks of the Weser in an icy blue sea of lights. There are countless performances about history, winter and maritime life to marvel at. Wood fires and torches frame medieval taverns and traditional craftsmen such as potters, felt makers, wood turners and scribes.
and scribes. It smells of incense, the planks of the ships creak softly on the shore and the pirates in the historic buccaneer village guarantee entertainment with props from the seafaring era. Old crafts are presented in a skillful manner and hearty delicacies in the tents promise hearty refreshments. Every year, a large firework display from a ship opens the Schlachte magic.

The Advent season lights up Bremen: Fairy lights, candlelight and lovingly decorated stalls create a special flair that delights more and more visitors every year.

There is a festive flair on the Weser, the ships on the quay glitter in the blue light and the smell of smoked fish and freshly baked bread fills the air: from the end of November to December 23, the Schlachte-Zauber on Bremen's Weser promenade presents itself with a historic, wintry and maritime ambience. If you walk past the fortified towers and step behind the mighty wooden palisades, you will find yourself right back in the Middle Ages. In the village of the Fogelvreien, the aroma of incense and all kinds of oriental delicacies wafts from the spice merchant and the meat roaster tempts you with freshly roasted meat.

The hammering of the blacksmith can be heard from afar and his colleagues from other guilds such as potters, felt makers, wood turners and scribes go about their impeccable work. In the taverns, visitors can taste mead, fruit wine or even love potion and listen to the minstrel's song while the planks of the historic ships creak softly on the shore. Craftsmen at work, lamenting sutlers, jugglers and minstrels... This is how it may have been back then, when the cogs came to the Hanseatic city with their precious cargo from faraway lands.
