Freiberger Christmarkt, Christmas market at Obermarkt, Freiberg, Germany
The Freiberger Christmarkt is a Christmas market on Obermarkt square featuring approximately 90 wooden stalls. Visitors find regional products, seasonal baked goods, handmade crafts, and traditional decorations available throughout the late fall and winter season.
The market was founded in 1990 and connects to Freiberg's 850 years of mining tradition. Its design and activities are shaped by this long history that defines the city's identity.
The market reflects Freiberg's identity as a mining town through decorations and the visible presence of historical guilds. Visitors experience how the local community keeps its mining heritage alive as a central part of daily celebration.
The market spreads across the entire Obermarkt square, making it easy for visitors to navigate between stalls. Weekday mornings offer the most comfortable experience when crowds are smaller and browsing is leisurely.
The Bergparade procession on December 7 features members of historical guilds dressed in traditional outfits marching with torches through town streets. This event connects the Christmas celebration directly to Freiberg's mining past in a striking way.
