Havixbeck — A Baumberge Community

Havixbeck, with just under 12,000 inhabitants, is a municipality in the district of Coesfeld, in the Baumberge region of Münsterland. The community is known for its Baumberger sandstone — a historic building material that gives many North German cathedrals their distinctive appearance. With Schloss Hülshoff (birthplace of Annette von Droste-Hülshoff), Burg Hülshoff, and the Münsterland landscape, Havixbeck is an attractive destination. The St. Nicholas Market showcases the Christmas charm of this region.

Integrated into the Marketing Concept

The organizer is Marketing Havixbeck — an organization that coordinates the community's tourism and retail activities. The St. Nicholas Market is one of its flagship events in the annual calendar.
