Eppendorfer Weihnachtsbummel

Hygge Atmosphere in Eppendorf

Eppendorf is one of Hamburg's most affluent and popular residential areas. Around Marie-Jonas-Platz, boutiques, cafés, restaurants, and the Eppendorf weekly market shape the cityscape. During Advent, the Eppendorfer Weihnachtsbummel is added – a manageable, atmospheric market that continues the cozy living room vibe of Eppendorf.

Family Focus Instead of Mass Event

Unlike the large markets in the city center, the Eppendorfer Weihnachtsbummel focuses on a family program:

• Children's carousel
• Character meet-and-greet with Anna, Elsa, and Olaf (photo opportunity)
• Christkindl-Angel opens a treasure chest every Thursday
• Visit from Santa Claus on December 6th with small gifts
• Wish tree for Eppendorf seniors
• Charity Monday — proceeds for Hamburg non-profit projects

Classics and Nordic Delicacies

The culinary line follows North German tradition: Kale with Pinkel, crêpes, bratwurst, candied almonds. The central meeting point is the mulled wine hut with the beautiful name "Der Glühwurm" (The Glowworm).

In the Hamburg-Nord District

Eppendorf belongs to the Hamburg-Nord district, one of Hamburg's greenest and quietest districts. Marie-Jonas-Platz is located directly in the Eppendorf business center, just a few minutes from the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). The market traditionally closes during the Christmas holidays and reopens in the period between the years.
