About the market

Between the town hall, cathedral, theatre and Nikolaiort, the Historischer Weihnachtsmarkt Osnabrück unfolds its special magic. The old town itself brings the backdrop: the Town Hall of the Peace of Westphalia, the Marienkirche and the historic gabled houses frame the festively lit huts. When lights, voices and music come together here, Christmas in Osnabrück feels pleasantly close and at the same time impressive. The market leaves room for the town. That is precisely why people often speak of the "quiet Christmas market": less loud staging, more atmosphere, more old-town feeling. In front of the town hall, the traditional carousel of the Telsemeyer family, more than 100 years old, goes round and round. Just a few steps further on, the Domhof and the theatre lead to further eye-catchers. There stands a 6-metre-high nutcracker, said to be the largest fully functional nutcracker at a Christmas market. In front of the theatre, the world's largest working music box with life-size figures also turns to Christmas melodies. Culinary choices range from Glühwein, bratwurst, Feuerzangenbowle, Handbrot and flame-grilled salmon to Käsespätzle, filled pretzels, stroopwafels as well as vegetarian and vegan offerings. For families, the Advent calendar in front of the town hall and the brass choir of St. Marien are among the atmospheric moments.
