21st Nikolaimarkt Oldenburg

The Nikolaimarkt differs from classic hobby or flea markets through its clear profile: professional craftspeople who work with their own signature style and high quality present themselves here. The selection of exhibitors follows an application and selection process that ensures the market's standard.

Around 90 Exhibitors

Approximately 90 exhibitors form the heart of the market. They come from Oldenburg, the surrounding Lower Saxony region, from other federal states, and sometimes from neighboring countries.

Materials and Disciplines

The spectrum is deliberately broad, but clearly profiled:

• Ceramics: Functional ceramics, sculpture, wall objects
• Leather: Bags, accessories, furniture
• Textiles: Fashion, scarves, home textiles, felted works
• Wood: Furniture, household objects, sculptures
• Stone: Sculpture and jewelry
• Jewelry: Gold, silver, and gemstone works
• Sculpture and Graphics: Fine art

Schlossplatz as Marketplace

The Schlossplatz in front of the Oldenburg Castle offers the ideal backdrop: central city location, historic facades, ample space for the pavilions, and easy access for visitors.

21st Edition

With its 21st edition, the Nikolaimarkt has established itself as one of the most important arts and crafts formats in the region. Regular visitors return every year to discover new works by their favorite exhibitors or to specifically look for special pieces.

Standard and Character

The market sees itself as a curated platform for sophisticated arts and crafts and design — no mass-produced goods, no imported standard items, but original works from the respective workshops.
