About the market

The Nostalgischer Weihnachtsmarkt in Hattingen traditionally opens its doors after Totensonntag (the Sunday of the Dead) and transforms the historic old town into a festive winter fairytale. Around 80 lovingly decorated stalls stretch from the Roonstraße via the Kirchplatz to the St.-Georgs-Viertel and to Steinhagen. Visitors can experience handmade crafts, culinary specialities and cultural performances. A particular highlight is the daily appearance of Frau Holle, who from 1 December at 17:00 shakes out her pillows from the window of the Altes Rathaus. In the Krämersdorf, the Französischer Markt "Bleu Blanc Rouge" invites you to linger with crêpes, Flammkuchen and other delicacies. The Kirchplatz around the St.-Georgs-Kirche forms the atmospheric centre of the market, where choirs and music groups create a festive atmosphere. In addition, the Kunsthandwerkermarkt in the St.-Georgs-Viertel presents high-quality works and design objects from all over the world. The Nostalgischer Weihnachtsmarkt Hattingen thus offers a unique combination of tradition, art and enjoyment in a picturesque setting.
