Christmas Market in Bürgergarten Gartenstadt 2026

Market 2025

In 2025, the Christmas market in Bürgergarten Gartenstadt also opened on the Saturday before the 1st Advent. Approximately 30 stalls offered gifts from the living rooms and workshops of the neighborhood — carved nativity figures, knitted hats, pottery bowls, homemade jam, honey from the local beekeeper, and cookies.

The social dimension has characterized the market for almost 40 years: exhibitors donate a portion of their income to the Christmas campaign of the Bürgerverein Mannheim-Gartenstadt, which has been helping needy families in the district during Advent for decades.
