About the market
The Bochumer Weihnacht transforms the town centre into a festive winter wonderland from 20 November to 23 December 2025. Around 200 lovingly designed stalls offer a varied selection of crafts and culinary delights. A particular highlight is the "Fliegende Weihnachtsmann" (Flying Father Christmas), who floats over the Dr.-Ruer-Platz every day at 17:00 and 19:00 while telling a Christmas story. The Mittelalterlicher Markt around the Pauluskirche transports visitors to times past with jugglers, historic crafts and traditional food. The Eisstock lane on the Boulevard provides sporting activity, inviting groups of up to eight people to try out this Alpine folk sport. The Rentier Lounge at Huestraße 21 offers a varied cultural programme with comedy, readings and live music. In addition, the Märchenwald invites families to listen to stories from faraway worlds in a cosy atmosphere. The festive lighting and the varied programme make the Bochumer Weihnacht an unforgettable experience.
