Wittenberg Christmas Market 2025: Opening with splendor and safety!

There is good news for Christmas lovers in Wittenberg: The 2025 Christmas market opens its doors on November 24th at 6 p.m. and will remain open until December 29th. The city can look forward to a magical atmosphere on the historic market square in front of the Old Town Hall, which will be transformed into a winter wonderland. Regular opening hours are Sunday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. The restaurants are even open until 9 p.m., so that visitors can linger over tasty treats.

People can expect a tight program for the Christmas market, as the stalls will remain closed on the two festive days, December 24th and 25th. Nevertheless, there will be a special highlight on offer: on the shopping Sundays on November 30th and December 14th from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., visitors can go shopping for an extra long time. As far as security is concerned, there will be a tightened security concept with experienced staff and appropriate barriers so that all visitors can enjoy the festive atmosphere without worry. Parking is available in the Arsenal shopping center, on Wallstrasse and in the surrounding streets, which makes getting there easier.

Attractive program items for young and old

A Christmas market would be nothing without an exciting program. And Wittenberg is no exception! The little guests can look forward to very special entertainment every day, which takes place from 4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. during the week and from 3 p.m. on weekends. Santa Claus will greet the children every day from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and will certainly spread a lot of joy.

On December 8th there will also be a social afternoon with free tickets and reduced prices, which shows that the city also thinks about the community. In terms of cuisine, the market will once again offer a variety: from Kassler to soups and pizza to Baumstriezel, there will be something for every palate.

More events during the Christmas season

In addition to the Christmas market, there is also a lot to experience in Wittenberg. The market of beautiful things takes place from November 28th to 30th, followed by the clubs' Christmas market from December 5th to 7th and the Advent festival in the Lutherhof from December 12th to 14th. The Möllensdorf Forest Christmas Market also invites you to explore on all Advent weekends.

The anticipation of the contemplative time is growing! Whether it's arts and crafts, enjoying regional specialties or a variety of events - Wittenberg has something to offer for everyone. And if someone is distracted by the anticipation of the Christmas market at home, it's good to be prepared for phishing scams like the FedEx Tracking Scam, which are among those reported to be seeking personal information. It's worth always taking a critical look at emails and messages.

Look forward to a festive and safe end to the year in Wittenberg!
