Rockenhausen Arts and Crafts Market

Donnersberghalle as a Venue

The Donnersberghalle Rockenhausen is a modern multi-purpose hall with spacious areas and good lighting. It is ideally suited for an indoor market in autumn when the weather becomes unpredictable and exhibitors need a weather-independent setting. The hall offers space for around 60 exhibitors, ample room for visitors to move around, and catering facilities.

Curatorial Principle

The distinctive principle of the market is its curatorial care: each craft is represented only once. This means there aren't five jewelry designers side-by-side, but rather one selected jewelry designer, one ceramicist, one glass artist, one leather craftsman, and so on. This selection guarantees diversity for visitors and fair conditions for exhibitors.

Range of Exhibitors

The range of crafts represented is broad: jewelry made from silver, gold, natural materials, and recycled materials; ceramics from functional ware to sculptures; glass in the form of jewelry, objects, or lamps; textiles with handmade clothing, scarves, or home textiles; wood with turned items, bowls, or toys; leather with bags, belts, or accessories. Felt, paper, soapstone, and other materials are also represented.

Market Atmosphere

The market atmosphere is refined, calm, and focused on the exchange between exhibitors and visitors. The exhibitors are available for personal conversations, explaining techniques, answering questions, and customizing their products if needed. The market is an ideal destination for Christmas gifts, personal purchases, or simply for the joy of handcrafted beauty.
