Pottery market on Sunday: Experience art and enjoyment in Auerbach!

The anticipation for the pottery market in Auerbach is great! Next weekend, more precisely on August 17, 2025, the city will be transformed into a true paradise for pottery lovers. Under the motto “Good clay makes the music,” over 50 workshops will present their unique pottery products. From handmade dishes to colorful decorations, everything is included.

The event takes place on the Altmarkt in Auerbach and attracts not only those interested in art from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The culinary delights are not neglected either: regional, sustainable delicacies are offered that invite you to linger and feast. The weather forecast promises the best conditions with clear, sunny skies and pleasant temperatures of up to 20°C, which makes the whole thing even more beautiful.

Shops open on Sunday

A highlight is the Sunday shopping, when the retail stores in Auerbach open their doors from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Visitors can get a good deal and shop locally while enjoying the atmosphere of the market. The city marketing association “We in Auerbach” e. V. organizes the event and ensures that everything runs smoothly.

After the pottery market, there are other shopping Sundays in Auerbach. The next date is November 30, 2025, where everything revolves around the fairytale parade - here too, the time still remains to be determined. In total, up to four Sunday openings per year are permitted in Saxony, which poses challenges for regional retailers and communities, but also offers many options for design. Historically, the decision to open shops on Sundays dates back to 1891, when there were five hours of opening time. A lot has changed since then, including in neighboring countries.

As in many European countries, the issue of Sunday shopping is regulated differently. While in France five appointments are allowed and large cities can set additional ones, in Poland shops are allowed to open almost every Sunday - with a few exceptions. Austria, on the other hand, follows a stricter concept, where there are almost no opportunities for Sunday openings, except for gas stations and train station shops.

Events in the area

If someone can't go to Auerbach next Sunday, there are also options in the area. Sunday shopping is also planned in Reichenbach (18 km away), Wilkau-Haßlau (21.4 km) and Zwickau (23.2 km). The variety of events in the region invites you to enjoy the weekend and experience the local culture when the weather is nice.

So be ready to be enchanted by the pottery market in Auerbach on August 17th! There is a lot to discover and there are definitely a few bargains to be had. Maybe one or two elfies or a fairytale highlight will find their way into your own four walls.
