About the market
Original miners' style in the Erzgebirge - this is how the Freiberger Christmarkt presents itself every year from the Tuesday before the 1st Advent until 22 December. Then Freiberg's medieval old town shines in a glow of lights and, against the backdrop of the historic Obermarkt, one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Germany is created. It invites you to experience mining customs, browse for Erzgebirge wood art and enjoy the Advent season in a relaxed and cosy way. Around 90 lovingly designed wooden huts are both decorated in a miners' style and closely tied in their offering to the history of the Silver City. Thus the “Schmelzer”, who smelted the ore into silver, now provides delicious Erzgebirge Glühwein. The miners' pyramid, the Stollenfest on the 1st Advent, the Bergparade by torchlight followed by a Bergpredigt (always on the Saturday before the second Advent), the Fest des Bergmanns with a small Bergaufzug on the 3rd Advent, the “Kleine Bergwerkstatt” for children's crafts and the ringing in of the Freiberger Weihnachtsruhe bring the adventure of mining to life at the Freiberger Christmarkt. Over 250 shops invite you to a cosy Christmas shopping stroll in the festively illuminated old-town alleys. On the 1st and 3rd Advent there are shopping Sundays. The ice rink at Schloss Freudenstein, Christmas exhibitions, a Bach oratorio in the Dom St. Marien, festive concerts and romantic lantern walks round off the Silver City Advent.
