Between Two Historic Churches
The Feuchtwangen Christmas Market has a special backdrop: it takes place on the idyllic church square, framed by the late Romanesque Collegiate Church and the Gothic St. John's Church. This unique location between the two churches gives the market its distinctive, atmospheric character.
Four Advent Weekends Full of Sparkling Light
Traditionally, the market opens its doors around the four Advent weekends. The town transforms into a small winter wonderland that delights visitors with its warm, bright, and glittering light and traditional charm. Decorated stalls offer arts and crafts and local delicacies.
Supported by Voluntary Work
Local clubs and associations, together with the Feuchtwangen Business Association (Spitzchen e.V.), create a Christmas market that thrives on voluntary work. The proceeds benefit regional initiatives and charitable organizations. The musical supporting program is provided by local bands, choirs, and ensembles, whose performances add atmospheric accents on Advent evenings.
Christkind, St. Nicholas, and Pelzermärtel
A special highlight, especially for children, is the appearance of the Feuchtwangen Christkind, St. Nicholas, and Pelzermärtel – a Franconian companion figure to St. Nicholas. These appearances make the market a popular family destination in the pre-Christmas period.
Feuchtwangen on the Romantic Road
Feuchtwangen is located in the district of Ansbach on the Romantic Road and is considered the "Festival City of Franconia." The historic old town with its cloister makes the town a popular destination all year round – especially in the Advent season due to the Christmas market.
