About Hahnenkleer Advent

The Hahnenkleer Advent transforms the Rathausstraße in the climatic health resort Hahnenklee-Bockswiese into an Advent market with a mountain town atmosphere on the third Advent weekend. Over three days, a program of market stalls, a music stage, arts and crafts, and family activities is created, reflecting the quiet atmosphere of the health resort, shaped by its mountain surroundings. The highlight is the laser show at 8:45 PM, which illuminates the evening sky of the mountain resort with light projections, music, and effects. The market is centrally located along Rathausstraße, making it easily accessible on foot. Combined with the famous stave church, the Bocksbergbahn cable car, and the cross-country ski trails in the Oberharz, the Advent in Hahnenklee becomes a weekend program that merges the Advent experience with the mountain health resort atmosphere.

Advent Market in the Climatic Health Resort

Hahnenklee-Bockswiese is located at an altitude of around 560 meters in the western Harz Mountains and is recognized as a climatic health resort. With the world-famous stave church, the Bocksbergbahn cable car, and extensive tourism offerings, the village forms its own focal point within the municipality of Goslar. The Hahnenkleer Advent utilizes the central Rathausstraße, creating a clearly structured market scene between hotels, restaurants, and guesthouses.

Market, Music, and Arts and Crafts

Market stalls offer regional arts and crafts, Advent decorations, incense, honey, baked goods, mulled wine, and warm food. A small stage hosts choirs, brass ensembles, soloists, and small performances by local clubs throughout the weekend. This creates a distinctly family-friendly atmosphere, characterized by many regular visitors from Hahnenklee and the surrounding region.

Laser Show at 8:45 PM

The special program highlight is the laser show at 8:45 PM, projected into the night sky of Hahnenklee. Accompanied by music and light projections, images are created that are particularly effective in the clear mountain air. The show is tailored for families and has been a regular feature in previous years.

Combination Possibilities

The Advent market is located in close proximity to the Bocksbergbahn cable car, allowing for a day trip that combines a ride up the mountain with a visit to the market. Hahnenklee's stave church, an architectural marvel that attracts thousands of visitors annually, is also just a few minutes' walk away.

Hahnenkleer Advent — edition 2026

The Hahnenkleer Advent 2026 will take place from Saturday, December 12th, to Monday, December 14th. Rathausstraße in the climatic health resort of Hahnenklee-Bockswiese will become a festive mile with market stalls, a music stage, and family activities. The highlight is the evening laser show at 8:45 PM, projected into the mountain night sky with light projections and music. The market is located very close to the world-famous stave church and the Bocksbergbahn cable car, making it easy to combine a visit with other program points. The exact detailed program for 2026 will be published by the organizer in late autumn. The structure follows the proven cornerstones of previous years.

Third Advent Weekend in the Mountain Town

With the extension to include Monday, a three-day format is created that caters to both day-trippers and weekend guests. The central location of the market allows for flexible arrival and a pleasant stroll between the stalls.

Laser Show as a Daily Ritual

The laser show at 8:45 PM has become the hallmark of the Hahnenkleer Advent. The short but effective production is often organized by the local spa administration and incorporates motifs of the Advent season.
