Adventsmarkt Sinzig

St. Peter Church as the Centerpiece

The parish church of St. Peter in Sinzig is an important example of Rhenish late Romanesque architecture from the 13th century. Its characteristic architecture forms the natural center of the Advent market, which groups around the church square and adjacent alleys. The historical substance lends the market a cohesive atmosphere that makes the medieval concept fitting.

Medieval Concept

Unlike a classic urban Christmas market, the Adventsmarkt Sinzig focuses on a medieval staging. Craft stalls with blacksmithing, wood, leather, and textiles mingle with classic Advent offerings; at some stalls, staff appear in historical costume. This emphasis ensures a distinct profile in contrast to the region's classic Advent formats.

Sinziger Turmblässer

A musical hallmark are the Sinziger Turmblässer (Sinzig Tower Trumpeters), who give several concerts from the tower of St. Peter Church over the weekend. Their sounds carry far beyond the market grounds and shape the festive mood of the city center.

St. Nicholas on Sunday

On Sunday, December 6th, St. Nicholas will visit at 2 PM. A small performance with gifts for children has been a fixed part of the program for years. The shuttle between Bad Breisig, Sinzig, and Remagen allows visitors to experience multiple Advent markets in one day.
