Welcome to the
Hildesheim Christmas Market

Hildesheim's Christmas market comes to life on the historical market square and around the town hall.

Its backdrop is the impressive façade of the Knochenhaueramtshaus, a former butchers' guildhouse which is reputed to be the most beautiful half-timbered house in the world.

Every year around 75 beautifully decorated stands turn this classic historic town into a festive spirit.

With the hustle and bustle among the stands, selling handcrafted articles and culinary delights, the Hildesheim Christmas Market is futher enhanced with a wide range of performances from glass-blowing to timber sculptured sawing. Even for smaller guests there are a wide range of interesting and exciting attractions.

Two other Christmas Markets are held on 'Platz an der Lilie' and Pferdemarkt squares, both hosting delightful gifts, seasonal food and drinks, Christmas concerts and performances.

From wide range of daily events one of the highlights are the Hildesheim Cathedral Musicians.

Discover Hildesheim

Only 30 kilometres south of Hannover, Hildesheim has been a cultural centre between the Harz mountains and the Lüneburger Heath for over a 1,000 years.

Of the city's five Romanesque churches, the cathedral and the St. Michael’s Church, symbolising Bishop Bernward's creative powers, they are all included in the UNESCO’s list of “World Heritage for Humanity”.

Internationally famous works of art from the Ottonian era are especially precious items in the sacral collections of the Dom-Museum and the cathedral treasury.

At the Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum, fascinating collections of ancient Egyptian and ancient Peruvian art can be seen.

The historic market square is one of the most beautiful old market-places in Germany. Its special highlight is the reconstructed Knochenhauer-Amtshaus (former butchers' guild hall), where city history and hospitality are combined under one roof.
