Christmas markets in Münster

In the heart of the city, at the foot of the Lamberti Church, the next Christmas market is already waiting for you. The arched houses around the Lamberti Church form a particularly atmospheric backdrop for the Christmas market. The Christmas houses stand close together and, together with the lighting, create a particularly cosy atmosphere. It is not for nothing that the Christmas market is also known as the"market of lights". Another highlight of this Christmas market is the large Christmas fir tree with its many lights.

The market closes on 22 December.

The Giebelhüsskesmarkt may be the youngest Christmas market in Münster, but in terms of glittering lights, culinary temptation and romantic Advent atmosphere it is in no way inferior to the other Christmas markets. In front of the walls of the Überwasserkirche, the Giebelhüüskesmarkt is a popular starting or ending point for a short "Christmas walk" through Münster. The Giebelhüüskesmarkt also closes on 22 December.

The small Christmas village at the Kiepenkerl monument radiates contemplation and is a good end to a stroll through the Christmas markets in Münster. You'll find high-quality arts and crafts and Christmas gift ideas at the quaint stalls. The Kiepenkerl Christmas market is also known for its delicious culinary offerings. Fancy a Westphalian speciality?

A little history lesson on the side: the Kiepenkerl is a well-known sculpture in Münster. It is a symbol of both the city of Münster and the Münsterland region. In the past, the term "Kiepenkerle" was used to describe wandering traders who belonged to the travelling community.
