Fallersleber Weihnachtszauber
Atmospheric Advent market in the illuminated Fallersleben castle courtyard with wooden stalls, vaulted cellar, and musical accompaniment on the second weekend of Advent.
About Fallersleber Weihnachtszauber
The Fallersleber Weihnachtszauber brings Advent spirit to the historic Fallersleben castle courtyard on the second weekend of Advent 2026 — presumably from December 4th to 6th. Wooden stalls in the illuminated courtyard, the venerable vaulted cellar, and adjacent buildings create an intimate setting, distinctly different from the large Wolfsburg city center Christmas market.
Clubs, artists, and local caterers provide mulled wine, Advent treats, small gift ideas, and musical interludes. Traditionally open from Friday to Sunday, 2 PM to 9 PM daily. The market is considered one of the most charming small castle Christmas markets in southeastern Lower Saxony.

Fallersleben — A District with a Castle
Fallersleben, once an independent town and the birthplace of the poet Hoffmann von Fallersleben, is now a district of Wolfsburg. At its heart is the 16th-century Renaissance castle, which houses the Hoffmann-von-Fallersleben Museum and transforms into a festive stage on the second weekend of Advent.
Castle Courtyard, Vaulted Cellar, and Twinkling Lights
Wooden stalls are arranged around the inner courtyard, illuminated with fir branches, fairy lights, and candles. The adjacent vaulted cellar serves as a sheltered market hall, creating a special atmosphere within its historic walls. The design emphasizes craftsmanship and regionality — many stalls are run by local clubs, initiatives, and small manufacturers.
Culinary Delights and Accompanying Program
Classically, the market offers mulled wine, punch, bratwurst, potato pancakes, candied almonds, crêpes, sweets, and winter soups. In addition, there are stalls with Advent decorations, candles, wool products, jewelry, and wood crafts. The Weihnachtszauber is accompanied musically by choirs, brass ensembles, and small concerts in the vaulted cellar.
An Evening in Fallersleben
Those planning an evening can combine the market with a stroll through the historic old town and a visit to the Hoffmann-von-Fallersleben Museum. Restaurants and inns near the castle provide culinary breaks.
Tradition on the Second Weekend of Advent
With its timing on the second weekend of Advent, the Fallersleber Weihnachtszauber meaningfully complements the extensive Wolfsburg Christmas market program: quieter, smaller, and more focused on regional character than the large city center market.
Fallersleber Weihnachtszauber — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of the Fallersleber Weihnachtszauber is planned for the second weekend of Advent, presumably from Friday, December 4th to Sunday, December 6th. Wooden stalls, a vaulted cellar, and the illuminated castle courtyard transform Fallersleben into a small but very atmospheric Advent market.
The exact daily program for 2026 will be published by the organizer in the autumn. The structure follows the proven cornerstones of previous years: musical accompaniment, Advent stalls by local clubs and manufacturers, and culinary classics in the castle courtyard.
Setting
The castle courtyard, vaulted cellar, and adjacent buildings provide the event with a contained, intimate atmosphere. Fairy lights, candles, and fir branches highlight the historic walls.
Clubs and Manufacturers
Many stalls are run by Fallersleben clubs, initiatives, and small manufacturers. This creates a personal, regional touch beyond the large city market.
