Weihnachtsmarkt Kirn
Traditional Advent market on Wilhelm-Dröscher-Platz with stalls and club catering
About Weihnachtsmarkt Kirn
Advent mood on Wilhelm-Dröscher-Platz
Wilhelm-Dröscher-Platz is one of the central squares in Kirn's city center. It is named after the Rhineland-Palatinate Social Democrat Wilhelm Dröscher (1920-1977), who shaped the region's Social Democracy for decades. In Advent, the square transforms into an atmospheric Advent market with festively decorated Christmas huts.
Christmas huts and culinary offerings
The festively decorated Christmas huts house catering and sales stands. The Kirn clubs are responsible for most of the catering with culinary classics: mulled wine, punch, bratwurst, potato pancakes, gingerbread, roasted almonds, and sweet specialties are standard. The proceeds support the voluntary club work.
Advent atmosphere
Festive lighting, Christmas music, and the warmth of the catering stands create the Advent atmosphere that makes a good Christmas market. The market is a meeting place for the people of Kirn and guests from the Kirner Land and the Nahetal. After work, people meet for a mulled wine; on weekends, families come for a stroll.
Kirn Christmas market in the Advent calendar
The Kirn Christmas market takes place on the weekend of the first Advent, i.e., at the transition from November to December. This makes it one of the opening Christmas markets of the Advent season in the region. Anyone looking for the first Advent mood will find it in Kirn.
Weihnachtsmarkt Kirn — edition 2026
