Artisan Advent Market in the historic Kommisse on the four Advent weekends
The Kommisse Wolfenbüttel is a historic building in the old town of Wolfenbüttel, which has been used as a venue for markets and cultural programs for years. With its historic substance and quiet location away from the main thoroughfares, it offers a contemplative counterpoint to the large Christmas market on Schlossplatz – this makes the Adventsmarkt in der Kommisse a favorite format for many Wolfenbüttel families.
The focus of the market is on handmade products: ceramics, jewelry, textiles, woodwork, natural products, leather goods, and lovingly designed gift items. The vendors come mainly from Lower Saxony and adjacent regions. Those who value direct contact with the manufacturers will find ideal conditions here: small stalls, a quiet atmosphere, time for conversations.
The market takes place exclusively on the four Advent weekends. This makes it a reliable date: those who come on the first Advent can return later and still see new pieces. The opening hours – Fridays 3 PM–8 PM, Saturdays 11 AM–8 PM, Sundays 11 AM–6 PM – are well-suited for working people and families.
The Adventshof extends directly from the Kommisse. With its own opening hours (Friday 4 PM–9 PM, Saturday 3 PM–9 PM, Sunday 3 PM–8 PM), it expands the Advent offerings with another component, making a stroll between the two formats advisable.
In 2026, the Adventsmarkt will again adhere to its proven four-weekend format. The exact dates of the four weekends will follow the Advent Sundays and will be announced by the city of Wolfenbüttel in November.
While the Christmas market on Schlossplatz, with its lively daily bustle, is the major Advent event in Wolfenbüttel, the Kommisse offers the quieter, craft-focused counterpoint. Many regular visitors appreciate precisely this contrast.
The exact weekends in 2026 with dates will be published by the city of Wolfenbüttel in November.
