Advent in den Höfen

Twenty private courtyards across Quedlinburg transform into individual market spaces filled with vendors selling handcrafted decorations, seasonal treats, and traditional goods.

The tradition of winter preparation markets in the Harz Mountains region developed into the current Christmas markets, where communities gather to celebrate the season.

Local artisans display their craftsmanship through handmade ornaments, textiles, and decorative items, maintaining the regional artistic traditions within the historic courtyards.

The market operates during the first three weekends of Advent, featuring designated areas for food consumption, restroom facilities, and clear signage between courtyards.

Visitors can explore the interior spaces of Quedlinburg's protected buildings while shopping, as the market extends through multiple privately owned medieval courtyards.
