About the market
Daily from 11:00 to 21:00, the Christkindl-Markt invites you to stroll, marvel and enjoy – with fragrant Glühwein, festive lights and lovingly designed stalls. Please note: on 23 November 2025 the market remains closed. A special highlight awaits you on 20 December: at Late Night Shopping you can shop at your leisure until 22:00 and enjoy the magical Christmas atmosphere for even longer. And after the holidays, too, we have you covered: In the Bahnhofstraße the market even opens its gates on 24 December from 11:30 to 14:00 and again from 27 to 30 December, each day from 10:00 to 20:00. The Flying Father ChristmasThe Flying Father Christmas delights visitors daily at 17:00 and 19:00 above the St. Johanner Markt, accompanied by the cheerfully waving Christkind. On special days there are special times: for the opening on 17.12. at 18:00, at 14:00 in addition on every Kindermittwoch, as well as for the long shopping night and for the closing show on 23.12. at 18:00. Please note that weather-related changes are possible at any time and will be announced on site. Giant Wheel JupiterThe world's only mobile giant wheel rises 50 metres above Saarbrücken's city centre and invites you to unforgettable rides from 17 November to 6 January 2025 – with special opening times on Christmas Eve, the public holidays and the long shopping night. Adults pay 7 euros, children from 3 years 4 euros, and there are discounts as well as free or reduced-price rides, for example after the 17:00 show of the Flying Father Christmas or on Kindermittwoch. Ice rinkThe sustainable plastic ice rink in the Bahnhofstraße invites you to go ice skating daily from 12:00 to 20:00 (until 22:00 on the long shopping night on 21 December) until 30 December. On 10 x 14 metres, visitors can skate their laps, hire skates or have them sharpened, and practical learning aids are available for children.
