Advent Magic in the Renaissance City
The Historic Christkindlmarkt in Neuburg an der Donau takes place on Karlsplatz in the Upper Old Town – in the heart of one of Bavaria's most beautiful Renaissance cities. Neuburg an der Donau is the district capital of the Neuburg-Schrobenhausen district in the state of Bavaria and is known for its princely residential palace and its well-preserved historic cityscape. The market extends over the second and third Advent weekends.
Craftsmanship Instead of Mass Production
The Christkindlmarkt consciously focuses on authentic handicrafts. The decorated stalls offer:
- Ceramics and Christmas tree decorations
- Christmas decorations and wooden toys
- Wool products and jewelry
In the "Living Christmas Workshop" in the historic town hall, organized by the city's cultural office, regional artisans demonstrate their techniques and sell their work on-site – an experience that sets the market apart from interchangeable Christmas markets.
Culinary Delights and Program
Culinary offerings include Franconian-Bavarian classics: Bratwurst, Schupfnudeln, Rahmfleck, Lebkuchen, freshly baked cookies, and candied almonds. Music groups and singing performances, as well as extensive festive lighting, create a special Advent atmosphere in the historic alleys.
City and Tradition
The Upper Old Town of Neuburg with its Karlsplatz forms a cohesive historic backdrop that gives the market its name. For many families in the Neuburg-Schrobenhausen region and the Bavarian Danube Moos, the Historic Christkindlmarkt is an integral part of the Advent season – contemplative, high-quality, and deeply intertwined with the city's history.
