A Traditional Autumn Market

The Wendelinusmarkt is one of the most traditional markets in the region and has been held since the 19th century. Every year on the third weekend in October, it transforms the town center of Amorbach – one of the most beautiful old towns in the Bavarian Odenwald – into a large market and festival area. With the 2026 edition, the market will be celebrated for the 191st time.

Crafts, Trade, and Direct Marketers

In the old town, craftsmen, traders, and direct marketers present their goods – from handmade jewelry and regional specialties to artisan products. A varied program of music and culture rounds off the market activities, making the Wendelinusmarkt more than just a shopping stroll.

The Sandstone Vaults

The distinctive hallmark of the Wendelinusmarkt are the historic sandstone vaults: In these old cellars and vaults, local clubs and caterers offer food, drinks, and entertainment. Here, you can fully enjoy the conviviality of the market. The market day on Sunday traditionally begins with an ecumenical market service in the Abbey Church, after which the market activities and Sunday shopping commence.
