Ludwigsburger Barock-Weihnachtsmarkt, Christmas market at Marktplatz, Ludwigsburg, Germany.

Ludwigsburger Barock-Weihnachtsmarkt is a Christmas market held each Advent season on and around the Marktplatz in Ludwigsburg. Its more than 170 stalls (173 in 2011) are laid out on the model of baroque garden designs, and illuminated angels hang above the market. The market stands before the pale yellow facade of the Protestant Stadtkirche, whose red-roofed tower carries a cross.

According to August Lämmle, a Christmas market existed in Ludwigsburg by 1883 at the latest. The present market is held in the run-up to Christmas on and around the Marktplatz, with its stalls laid out after the model of baroque garden designs. In 2012 it ran from 27 November to 23 December, open daily from 11 to 21.

The market's layout follows the model of baroque garden designs, with the stalls arranged in geometric order around the Marktplatz. Above the market hang illuminated angels, the feature that shapes its appearance. A stage programme and visits by a performer playing "Friedrich I." accompany the stalls.

The market fills the Marktplatz and the surrounding streets, with stalls laid out after the model of baroque gardens, so a walk through follows its geometric order. In 2012 it was open daily from 11:00 to 21:00, from 27 November to 23 December. The Protestant Stadtkirche tower can be climbed for a view over the lit market.

Angels with illuminated wings stand over the marketplace, creating a distinctive visual feature during evening hours. These figures make the market a memorable sight that draws visitors back year after year.
