Arts and Crafts in the Heart of the Old Town
The Stralsund Arts and Crafts Market takes place on the Alter Markt, the historic centre of the Hanseatic city with its famous Town Hall. Here, artisans from the region and beyond present their handmade works.
Variety of Handmade Unique Pieces
The market's offerings are diverse and demonstrate the breadth of artisanal techniques:
- Jewellery collections and artistically crafted silver
- Ceramics and pottery
- Natural soaps and care products
- Felt creations and textile design
- Fashion designs and accessories
Each piece is a handmade unique item – a counterpoint to industrial mass production and an invitation to discover individual products.
World Heritage Backdrop
The location in front of the Stralsund Town Hall, which, along with the old town, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, gives the market a special atmosphere. Brick Gothic architecture and arts and crafts combine to create an atmospheric scene.
Stralsund in the Vorpommern-Rügen District
The Hanseatic city of Stralsund is the district capital in Vorpommern-Rügen and the gateway to the island of Rügen. The Arts and Crafts Market is a great opportunity to explore the old town and find special souvenirs.
