The original since 1973:
Holstenplatz
The Christmas market on Holstenplatz has a fresh new look and traditionally attracts visitors for a winter stroll with a balanced mix of arts and crafts, punch and tasty treats.
Winter forest on Holstenplatz
Holstenplatz remains cosy even when it's cold or the weather in northern Germany is cold, as it is partly transformed into a cosy winter forest with inviting lounge areas with seating containers to sit under cover and round tables to linger at.
Numerous illuminated fir trees are of course a must. Once again, 99 illuminated LED stars hang in the trees. The approximately one kilometre long LED garland with thousands of light points also decorates the gables of the Christmas market stalls and creates a festive atmosphere on the market square.
The popular selfie points are an absolute highlight: forest animals as well as the large deer and Santa Claus make for very special Christmas photo opportunities. For the first time, visitors can capture fun memories of their Christmas market stroll in a photo booth.
