About Christmas Market Domäne Oeslau

In the historic manor farm of Domäne Oeslau, a district of Rödental in the Coburg region, the Rödental Christmas Market takes place every year on the first weekend of Advent. Regional exhibitors present handmade goods, Christmas decorations, wooden toys, and basketry between half-timbered barns and old estate buildings. Freshly baked cookies, mulled wine, steaming galettes and crêpes, bratwurst, and wild boar sausage ensure culinary diversity. Musical performances, a fire show on Friday, and a petting zoo on the weekend make the market a family experience.

Advent Atmosphere at the Historic Manor Farm

The Domäne Oeslau in Rödental is one of the most beautiful venues in the Coburg region. On the first weekend of Advent, the historic manor farm, with roots dating back to the 16th century, transforms into a Christmas market to "see, hear, smell, and taste." The organizer is the town of Rödental, with the mayor traditionally opening the event.

What the Exhibitors Offer

At the charmingly sized market, regional exhibitors present everything that belongs to the festive pre-Christmas season: handmade Christmas decorations, dolls, plush toys, wooden toys for children, basketry, and Christmas tree ornaments in all imaginable sizes. In addition, there are roasted almonds, mulled wine, steaming galettes and crêpes, coffee and cake, bratwurst, wild boar sausage, and fish sandwiches.

Program for the Whole Family

Friday opens with a spectacular fire show. On Saturday and Sunday, a petting zoo awaits the children. St. Nicholas visits on Friday at 5 PM and on Sunday from 3 PM to 4 PM, while the Christ Child visits the market on Sunday from 2 PM onwards. Live music accompanies the market on all three days.

Rödental and the Coburg Christmas Land

Rödental is part of the Coburg Christmas Land, an initiative by the district of Coburg that connects numerous Advent markets between Coburg, Neustadt bei Coburg, Bad Rodach, and Rödental into an experience network. The market in Oeslau is one of the most atmospheric because the backdrop of old stone buildings creates a special ambiance – family-friendly, regional, without mass crowds.

Christmas Market Domäne Oeslau — edition 2026

In 2026, the Christmas market in Domäne Oeslau Rödental will again open on the first weekend of Advent. For three days, regional exhibitors, live music, a fire show on Friday, and a petting zoo on the weekend will combine the tradition of the historic manor farm with modern Advent spirit. The program and exhibitors will be finally announced in Autumn 2026.

The Rödental Christmas Market traditionally takes place on the first weekend of Advent. In 2026, the first Advent falls on Sunday, November 29th – the festive weekend will therefore likely run from Friday, November 27th, to Sunday, November 29th, 2026.

The organizer is the town of Rödental. The official opening by the mayor takes place on Friday at 5 PM, followed by the fire show. Admission is free.
