Magdeburger Weihnachtsmarkt, Christmas market in Alter Markt, Magdeburg, Germany.

The Magdeburger Weihnachtsmarkt is a seasonal Christmas market held on Alter Markt, the main square in the center of Magdeburg, with rows of decorated wooden stalls. The stalls offer handcrafted goods from the surrounding region, seasonal decorations, and traditional food and drink typical of German Christmas markets.

The market grew out of a late medieval sales fair where Magdeburgers stocked up on food before winter; it became a pre-Christmas custom in the mid-20th century. It was first held on the Alter Markt, moved to Leiterstraße after the 1945 bombing, returned to the Alter Markt and Zentraler Platz in the 1970s, and has been confined to the Alter Markt since the Allee-Center was built on the Central Square in 1995.

Local food is part of the market: Magdeburger Grünkohl (also called Braunkohl), usually prepared with Bregenwurst or Kasseler, and the Lemsdorfer Lümmel, a sausage made by a Magdeburg butcher to a recipe from 1924. Each year a Glühwein-König, a mulled-wine king, is crowned at the market.

The market fills Alter Markt in front of the Old Town Hall, St John's Church and the Magdeburg Rider, and runs from the Monday after Totensonntag until 30 December. The 38-metre Ferris wheel with 26 gondolas stands to the left of the town hall, the 8.50-metre Christmas pyramid with its 7.50-metre musicians' gallery is among the carved figures, and the historic market with its barrel sauna is to the right of the town hall.

In 2019 the market was redesigned with a lighting scheme of 1.1 million LED points, 320 decorated lanterns and 60 large light elements. The tallest ride is a 38-metre Ferris wheel with 26 gondolas, set up each year to the left of the Old Town Hall. A Glühwein King is crowned annually.
