Pforzheimer Winterwelt
2025
Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — Winterwelt Pforzheim
2025/26 Season — Fourth Edition
The Pforzheimer Winterwelt celebrates its 4th edition. The concept has established itself: synthetic CO2-neutral ice rink, alpine gastronomy, and a central downtown location at Waisenhausplatz. The city of Pforzheim once again relies on a sustainable and cityscape-enhancing winter event that runs through the Advent season and into the new year.
The WSP Kufenland system with synthetic ice is the technological highlight — no water- and electricity-intensive ice production, 100% recyclable materials, weather-independent use. This makes the Pforzheimer Winterwelt one of the most innovative urban winter events in Southern Germany.
