Traditional Autumn and Kirmes Market in the Hanseatic City of Attendorn
Attendorn is one of the four Hanseatic cities in the Sauerland region and proudly bears this title. In November, as the days grow shorter and the evenings cooler, the Martini-Markt invites you to a final big city festival of the year before the Advent season begins. For two days, market stalls, carousels, a Ferris wheel, and a cozy autumn lounge with live music transform the city center into a lively meeting point — attracting visitors from the entire Olpe district and beyond.
A local specialty: The Attendorn Hanse-Tombola, a lottery with tickets sold in local shops, starts every year with the Martini-Markt. Proceeds go to city marketing and local projects. The lottery regularly attracts great attention and makes the Martini-Markt more than just a classic autumn market.
With around 24,000 inhabitants, Attendorn is the second-largest town in the Olpe district and one of the most distinctive places in the southern Sauerland region of North Rhine-Westphalia. The Atta Cave, the Biggesee lake, and the historic town center with its Sauerland Cathedral attract tourists from all over Germany. The Martini-Markt is an opportunity to experience the city in the most beautiful autumn scenery.
Two days of a bustling city center with market stalls, rides, and a cozy lounge atmosphere. Sunday, with its open shops, is particularly popular — from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the shops in Attendorn's city center open their doors.
The annual Attendorn Hanse-Tombola starts with the Martini-Markt — tickets are available in local retail stores, and proceeds support city marketing.
