Weihnachtsmarkt Ellingstedt

Advent Market in the Sports Hall

Unlike the famous outdoor Christmas markets in Lübeck, Husum, or Schleswig, the Ellingstedt Christmas Market takes place in the sports hall — a charming solution that bypasses the North German winter weather while creating a special, almost familiar atmosphere. The sports hall is transformed into an Advent space with fairy lights, fir branches, and festive decorations.

Offerings

• Arts and Crafts from the region — knitwear, woodwork, candles, ceramics
• Culinary Delights — mulled wine, candied almonds, sausages, doughnuts, potato pancakes
• Contemplative Music on the central stage — usually choirs and brass bands from the surrounding communities
• Café Area with homemade cake

A Club Market

The market is jointly organised by the municipality and local clubs — an example of the dense voluntary commitment in rural Schleswig-Holstein. The proceeds from the stalls usually go into the club treasuries and thus back into community life.

In the Amt Arensharde, District of Schleswig-Flensburg

Ellingstedt is a municipality in the Amt Arensharde, a rural area in the district of Schleswig-Flensburg between Schleswig and the Eider. The Christmas market is one of the municipality's most important Advent events — part of a diverse range of club activities, alongside ice betting, sports events, and theatre performances.
