About Adventsmarkt Kommisse

On the four Advent weekends of 2026, the historic Kommisse in Wolfenbüttel will open its doors for the traditional Advent market with selected arts and crafts. From November 27 to December 20, 2026, vendors will present their handmade products on Fridays from 3 PM to 8 PM, Saturdays from 11 AM to 8 PM, and Sundays from 11 AM to 6 PM. The Adventshof (Advent Courtyard) next door complements the format with its own opening hours. An alternative to the large Christmas market on Schlossplatz – with a quieter, craft-oriented character.

The Kommisse as a Historic Setting

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.

Crafts and Direct Sales

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.

Four Advent Weekends

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.

Adventshof as a Complement

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.

Adventsmarkt Kommisse — edition 2026

The Adventsmarkt in der Kommisse Wolfenbüttel 2026 runs on the four Advent weekends, expected from November 27 to December 20. It is open Fridays 3 PM–8 PM, Saturdays 11 AM–8 PM, and Sundays 11 AM–6 PM. Artisans from Lower Saxony and the region showcase handmade products in a quiet, historic atmosphere. The Adventshof opens concurrently with its own opening hours. Free admission – an atmospheric complement to the large Christmas market on Schlossplatz.

2026 Edition

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.

Contemplative Complement to Schlossplatz

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.
