Magdeburger Weihnachtsmarkt

Magdeburg Christmas Market is a seasonal fair on Alter Markt featuring more than 50 festively decorated wooden stalls. These offer regional handcrafted goods, seasonal decorations, and traditional German products.

The market takes place near the medieval Kaiser Otto Palace and connects present celebrations with the historical past of Saxony-Anhalt. This historical connection makes the festivities part of the city's ongoing cultural story.

The market displays traditional handcrafted items from the surrounding region, including carved wooden figures and local specialties like Magdeburg marzipan. Visitors encounter a lively selection of goods that reflect regional artisan traditions.

The venue is easy to reach on foot and centrally located, making it simple to visit. Both cash and card payments are accepted by vendors throughout the market.

A distinctive feature is the Magdeburg World of Lights, where millions of LED lights and large illuminated elements transform the city center. This light display creates a distinctive evening mood once darkness falls.
