54th Golden Pforzheim Christmas Market

In 2025, Pforzheim celebrated the 53rd edition of its Golden Christmas Market. For four weeks, the market square and pedestrian zone transformed into an Advent world with about 50 stalls and booths. The Golden Angel Pyramid served mulled wine and children's punch, the golden Ferris wheel offered views over the city center, and two children's carousels from the 1950s delighted the youngest visitors.

As every year, Pforzheim combined goldsmith tradition and Baden festive atmosphere. The range of goods extended from jewelry and fur items to wool and Advent candles, as well as gingerbread, bratwurst, and potato pancakes. The market was complemented by changing performances by local choirs, music associations, and kindergartens on the market square stage — a classic in the Advent calendar of Baden-Württemberg.
