Barmstedt Historical and Medieval Market

Review 2025

The 15th edition of the market in 2025 once again drew thousands of visitors from the Pinneberg district, Hamburg, and Schleswig-Holstein to the castle island. Merchants, craftsmen, and show combat groups set up their stalls under the old linden trees, traveling musicians roamed between the booths with their hurdy-gurdies and shawms. The historical carriage ride and the open castle museum were part of the regular program, as were the suckling pig and mead from the kettle.
