About Christmas Market Koblenz

The Koblenz Christmas Market is one of the largest and most atmospheric Christmas markets on the Middle Rhine. For six weeks – from the end of November to the beginning of January – the historic old town of Koblenz transforms into a fairytale Christmas city. On the central squares Jesuitenplatz, Münzplatz, Am Plan, and Josef-Görres-Platz, festively decorated huts offer mulled wine, handicrafts, Christmas decorations, toys, and culinary specialties. The old town is festively illuminated, the Liebfrauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) provides a spectacular backdrop, and a varied stage program ensures a festive Advent atmosphere.

The Koblenz Christmas Market is one of the most important Christmas attractions on the Middle Rhine and a significant economic factor for Koblenz's city center during the Advent month. The organizer is Koblenz-Touristik in cooperation with the City of Koblenz.

Extent

The market extends over several squares and streets in the historic old town:

  • Jesuitenplatz: Main square with the stage and many stalls – open until December 22nd.
  • Liebfrauenkirche: Smaller market in front of the Romanesque-Gothic church.
  • Münzplatz: Central mulled wine and stage area.
  • Am Plan: Handicrafts and toys.
  • Josef-Görres-Platz: Additional stalls and gastronomy.

Atmosphere

The old town is festively illuminated with fairy lights and stars. The stage programs range from choir concerts, brass concerts, and wind ensembles to musical performances and children's programs. Stalls offer mulled wine, punch, bratwurst, Schwenkbraten (grilled pork neck), Reibekuchen (potato pancakes), gingerbread, chestnuts, and various handicrafts.

Extended Dates

While the main markets at Jesuitenplatz and Liebfrauenkirche run until December 22nd, some areas of the old town with festive catering are open even until January 5th, 2027 – a unique selling point of the Koblenz Christmas Market.
