Advent Season at the Historic Market Square
Alfeld an der Leine is one of the historically significant towns in the Leine Uplands. The Old Town Hall, the half-timbered buildings around the market square, and the UNESCO World Heritage Fagus Factory make Alfeld a special destination. During Advent, the Christmas market enhances this impression: the lights, the scent of bratwurst and mulled wine, the historic architecture, and the compact city center combine to create an atmospheric ensemble.
Colorful Program with Tradition and Participation
The Alfeld Christmas Market is more than just a sales market. The supporting program includes music, guided city tours, craft afternoons where children are introduced to crafts, readings, baking gingerbread over an open fire, climbing historic buildings, and the popular curling. On December 11, the annual market takes place – a market day that has been held in Alfeld for centuries and holds special significance during Advent.
Alfeld – A Compact City with a Great History
Alfeld has around 19,000 inhabitants and is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Fagus Factory by Walter Gropius. The city is an important anchor point in the southern Hildesheim district and is conveniently located on the A7 motorway and the Hanover–Göttingen railway line. The Christmas market attracts visitors from the entire region and combines civic engagement with professional program design by the city.
