Medieval Market Ratingen — Knights, Jesters, Bards

The 2025 edition served as a prelude to the grand anniversary market in 2026 — the concept of the medieval market in Ratingen's Old Town was tested and expanded for the anniversary year. With the wooden Ferris wheel as a new highlight, the expanded children's program section, and full integration into the year-round 750 Years program, 2026 will be the peak of the series. The combination of the city's own history and medieval staging makes the Ratingen version of the medieval market unique — unlike purely commercial medieval events where the city's history plays no role.
