Medieval Camp Life During Advent

Unlike classic Christmas markets, the Battmer Hof in Östrum focuses on a medieval reenactment. Camp life with tents, campfires, and participants in historical costumes shapes the market scene. Blacksmiths work at open fires, archers demonstrate their skills, and travelling merchants offer handcrafted goods.

Music, Dance, Readings

Throughout the two days, music groups from the medieval and folk genres perform, dances are showcased, and readings of Christmas, historical, or fantasy stories complement the program. There is a children's program where they can playfully experience the medieval setting.

Battmer Hof and Östrum

The Battmer Hof in Östrum is a traditional farm in the southern Hildesheim district. Östrum is a district of the town Bad Salzdetfurth, known for its spa and its location in the Innerste valley. The market event has established itself over several years as a fixture in the winter event calendar, offering an atmosphere that many visitors find pleasantly different.
