Eisenach - Weihnachtsmarkt

The Eisenach Christmas Market takes place in the historic and picturesque setting of Wartburg Castle in Thuringia. It is traditionally located on the central market square, nestled between the historic town hall, St. George's Church and the charming half-timbered houses of the old town.

The market is known for its contemplative and family-friendly atmosphere, which is strongly influenced by Thuringian craft traditions. Visitors will find a wide selection of handmade products and gift ideas here. These include typical Thuringian wood carvings, ceramics, hand-blown glass decorations and other traditional handicrafts.

The Eisenach Christmas market offers classic Thuringian specialities. Particularly popular are the original Thuringian grilled sausage, roasted over an open charcoal fire, as well as traditional Thuringian mulled wine and other Christmas treats such as stollen and gingerbread.

A festive Christmas tree adorns the market square and provides atmospheric lighting. For children, there is often a children's carousel and a fairy tale forest that captivates the little ones. The cultural programme on a small stage usually includes performances by local choirs, brass bands and Christmas readings, which underpin the traditional Thuringian Christmas with music and storytelling. The Eisenach Christmas market is a place where you can enjoy the pre-Christmas season in an authentic and historic atmosphere.
