Overview
In 2025, the Nikolausdorf also ran for about six weeks at Rudolfplatz, with the established program of live stage performances, St. Nicholas processions, and Radio Köln broadcasts. The event has been a fixture of Cologne's Advent landscape for years.
The 2025 edition, like in previous years, attracted thousands of visitors from Cologne, the region, and international tourism. Cologne is one of the German cities with the highest density of Christmas markets – Nikolausdorf holds its own in the competition with its distinctive setting and stable program.
