About the market

The Knuspermarkt in Herste, located in Bad Driburg in the Höxter district, is an established pre-Christmas event whose origins go back to 1991. This Christmas market has developed from modest beginnings with Glühwein tables into a comprehensive event on the forecourt of the Schützenhaus Herste, with specially erected huts shaping the ambience. Visitors can expect a diverse range of culinary specialities, including mushrooms, sausages, chips, Glühwein, punch, coffee and waffles. In addition, a tombola, auctions and a throwing and crafts stall contribute to a varied experience. Characteristic of the Knuspermarkt is its non-profit nature: all proceeds go to charitable purposes, and in the past over €24,000 has already been donated to various clubs, organisations and special-needs schools. This event sees itself as a meeting place for encounters and community in Advent and is run by dedicated Knuspermarkt men and women. The market creates a festive atmosphere accompanied by the scent of fresh waffles and spicy Glühwein. For children, activities such as writing letters to the Christkind are also offered, while the Musikverein Herste performs Christmas music.
