Every year, the Christmas market in the historic old town enchants its visitors with colorful lights, sweet treats and a cultural program.

The scent of roasted almonds and gingerbread is everywhere.

There are wonderful handicrafts to discover in the little huts and you can warm your hands with a cup of mulled wine by the campfire at the old Posthof.

The Schlachtemarkt is quiet and contemplative with crafts, campfires and the popular polar bear band. Santa Claus organizes a pre-Christmas programme for the youngest guests in the children's Christmas tent.

You can also discover the fairytale street and skate a few laps on the ice rink at Pfaffenteich.

Guests can enjoy a fantastic view over the city on a ride on the Ferris wheel.

Santa Claus welcomes his guests in the afternoon on the stage on the market square, next to the decorated Christmas tree.

A varied program with concerts, artists and activities will delight you.
