About the market

The historic old town of Bad Salzuflen is transformed every year into a festive backdrop for the "Bad Salzufler Weihnachtstraum", one of the most renowned Christmas markets in Westphalia. Numerous lovingly decorated wooden pavilions blend harmoniously into the ambience of the magnificent half-timbered houses and create a picturesque Advent atmosphere. A central highlight is the imposing, 12-metre-high Christmas pyramid on the Salzhof, whose hand-carved figures tirelessly go round and round. At its foot, culinary specialities such as Winzerglühwein, egg punch and Christmas beer invite you to linger. On the stages at the Schliepsteiner Tor and on the Salzhof, a varied programme is offered, ranging from traditional Christmas carols and children's songs to Schlager. Craftspeople, including a Christmas-bauble painter and a woodcarver, present their skills and offer insights into traditional craftsmanship. A special experience is the live demonstration by Werner Korzen, who makes artistic birdhouses from tree trunks with a chainsaw. The Bad Salzuflen retailers invite you to stroll throughout the whole Advent season and offer a wide range for Christmas shopping. In addition, shopping Sundays take place on selected days, rounding off the shopping experience. The "Bad Salzufler Weihnachtstraum" has been awarded the quality seal "Excellent European Christmas Market", which underlines its outstanding position among European Christmas markets. This recognition reflects the high quality and special atmosphere of the market. A visit to this Christmas market promises an unforgettable experience in an atmospheric setting that unites tradition and festive joy.
