Historical Christmas Market – Battmer Hof Östrum

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.
