About the market
The Paderborner Weihnachtsmarkt presents itself against the historic backdrop of the cathedral and town hall as well as in the pedestrian zone, with a variety of stalls offering a broad spectrum of culinary delights and crafts. Of particular note is the Christmas pyramid, about 20 metres high, on the market square, which with its walk-in levels and hand-carved figures is a central element of the market. The town hall is transformed into an imposing Advent calendar, whose window, opened daily, reveals Christmas motifs. Another highlight is the living nativity scene at the Marktkirche, which is equipped with real animals and looked after by a local club. The atmospheric lighting of the town centre, supported by energy-efficient LED technology, underscores the festive setting and invites visitors to experience the pre-Christmas season in Paderborn.
