Lengede Christmas Market

Over 30 Years of Tradition

The Lengede Christmas Market was founded in 1991 by the Lengede Trade and Commerce Association (HGV), making it one of the long-standing Christmas market traditions in the district of Peine. For over three decades, the market has secured a firm place in the regional Advent calendar and is visited by many regular guests year after year.

Spritzenhuis as a Historic Backdrop

The Spritzenhuis Lengede is a historic building that originally served as a fire station and now serves as a venue for the village. With its special architecture and central location, it offers an ideal backdrop for a Christmas market. Fairy lights, decorated fir trees, and the scent of mulled wine transform the area into a festive Advent world.

Miniature Railway as a Trademark

One of the special attractions of the Lengede Christmas Market is the lovingly operated miniature railway that runs through the market grounds. Children, in particular, wait year after year for this program item, which makes the market an unmistakable experience. A ride is both a technical experience and a magical moment in the Advent season.

Stalls and Stage Program

The stalls offer classic Christmas market fare: handicrafts, Christmas decorations, gift ideas, sweets, and culinary temptations. Local choirs, brass bands, school orchestras, and music clubs provide the festive program on the stage. This involvement of local clubs is an important feature of the market and makes it a true village market.

HGV as Volunteer Organizer

The Lengede Trade and Commerce Association (HGV) bears the organizational responsibility for the market. This volunteer work by local business people is an important contribution to the vibrancy of the village. The combination of commercial commitment, club life, and village community makes the market an expression of local identity.
