Muenster Christmas Markets
Muenster's Christmas Market becomes more festive and more
fairytale like every year.
Set against the charming backdrop of the
illuminated old quarter, its five Christmas Markets are all within a
stone's throw away from each other.
There are 250 stalls in all, offering a
huge range of toys, decorations and crafts, as well as sweets,
treats, snacks and hot drinks.
When the Prinzipalmarkt is festively illuminated, the aroma of
mulled wine and roasted almonds meanders through the streets, and
shops are splendidly decorated – that is when the most wonderful
time of the year begins in Münster.
Under a romantic light filled sky, on the inner courtyard of the
Town Hall is where the oldest and largest Christmas Market is
staged. Here, jewellery and artisan items as well as a large
culinary variety can be found.
At the bottom of the mighty Lamberti
church, surrounded by historic arcaded houses, the St. Lamberti
Christmas light market sets glitzy accents with the blue pointed
roofs of the stands and a 22-metres high tree covered in lights.
At
the cosy Christmas village set up around the monument of Münster’s
Kiepenkerl, quaint little stands combine indulgence with tradition.
The Aegidii Christmas Market attracts visitors with an impressive
nativity scenes and a 6-metres high wooden pyramid.
Set against the
historic walls of the Überwasserkirche, the Giebelhüüskes Market
opens its gates with a wide selection of crafts and special
delicacies.
The many churches also offer space for meditative
moments.
Advent tours, filled with many anecdotes, provide an
insight into Münster‘s history and traditions. The child care point
at the Maxi Tower on
Prinzipalmarkt 15 offers an alternative to a stroll with parents
across the Christmas Markets for children aged 4 to 10. (Open Monday
– Friday 2 pm – 6 pm, Saturday, 10 am – 6 pm). Experience the magic
of Christmas in Muenster!
