About Haidhauser Weihnachtsmarkt

The Haidhauser Weihnachtsmarkt at Weißenburger Platz is considered by many Munich residents to be the most beautiful Christmas market in the city. For over four decades, the tree-lined square in the vibrant Haidhausen district has been transformed into a lovingly designed Advent market with over 60 festively illuminated stalls. An original Tyrolean wooden hut with a nativity scene, the specially brewed 'Christmator' beer, daily live music, and the famous Haidhauser Lichternacht for children make the market a special experience away from the main tourist crowds.

Munich's Most Beautiful Christmas Market

For over 40 years, the Haidhauser Weihnachtsmarkt has been a firm institution in the Bavarian state capital. On the tree-lined Weißenburger Platz in the trendy Haidhausen district, over 60 festively decorated and illuminated stalls offer gifts, Christmas decorations, and culinary delights. The market is considered an insider tip and one of the most atmospheric in the city.

Nativity Scene, Christmator, and Traditions

A centerpiece is the beautiful nativity scene in a rustic, original Tyrolean wooden hut. The beer 'Christmator' is brewed especially for the market. On the second Sunday of Advent, a traditional ecumenical service takes place at the nativity scene in the morning – an example of the market's close connection to the neighborhood.

Lichternacht and Program

Every Friday, the 'Haidhauser Lichternacht' takes place – a luminous lantern procession for children, which begins around 5:00 PM. On weekends, there is a music program, and at least twice a week, the Kasperltheater (puppet show) performs for the youngest visitors. Live music daily creates a contemplative atmosphere.

Haidhausen in Munich

Weißenburger Platz is located in the Haidhausen district, one of Munich's most charming neighborhoods, in the Free State of Bavaria. The 'French Quarter' with its Wilhelminian-era facades provides the ideal backdrop for the traditional market, which has preserved its family-friendly, neighborly character over the decades.
