About Wintertreff Winterhude

Wintertreff Winterhude is Hamburg's insider tip for Advent enthusiasts who prefer small, charming markets to large tourist attractions. Since 2021, Winterhude Market Square in the Hamburg-Nord district has been transformed into a neighbourhood market from mid-November until just before Christmas, focusing on regional, fair-trade, and organic products. Homemade mulled wine, apple punch, arts and crafts, and social engagement with a wish tree for seniors and the "Advent in a Shoebox" campaign make the market a meeting point for the neighbourhood.

Advent Atmosphere with Neighbourhood Character

Wintertreff Winterhude stands for a different kind of Christmas market: smaller, quieter, more regional. Selected stalls offering a high degree of regional, fair-trade, and organic products gather on Winterhude Market Square in the eponymous district of Hamburg-Nord from November 12 to December 23, 2026. The market is aimed at the neighbourhood and anyone who wants to experience the Hamburg Christmas season away from the crowds around Jungfernstieg and Rathausmarkt.

Culinary Delights: Regional and Handmade

The focus is on mulled wine made from our own recipe and homemade apple punch, which has become a Wintertreff specialty since its first edition in 2021. Sweet and savoury stalls offer seasonal specialities – from North German tradition, with regional ingredients. The stalls change partly daily, allowing visitors to make new discoveries on multiple visits.

Social Focus

  • Wish Tree for seniors: Visitors can take a wish from the tree and fulfil it
  • Social Saturday: Every Saturday in Advent, a portion of the proceeds goes to charitable causes
  • Advent in a Shoebox: Collection campaign for shoeboxes filled with toiletries, sweets, and clothing for those in need
  • Mulled wine campaign with donated proceeds

The Idea Behind It

Wintertreff was launched by bjp GmbH (Bergmanngruppe) – with the aim of creating a market that focuses less on mass consumption and more on encounters, sustainability, and neighbourhood life. The market has been growing steadily since 2021 and is now one of the fixed Advent dates in the northeast of Hamburg.

Winterhude During Advent

Winterhude Market Square is conveniently connected to the U3 underground line (Sierichstraße station), and city trains stop nearby. Its location between the Goldbek Canal and the Alster makes Wintertreff a charming address for a combined walk along the water, followed by a hot drink at a market stall. Admission to the market is free.

Wintertreff Winterhude — edition 2026

From November 12 to December 23, 2026, Wintertreff Winterhude transforms Winterhude Market Square into a small, charming Advent market focusing on regional, fair-trade, and organic products. Its own mulled wine, homemade apple punch, a wish tree for seniors, and the "Advent in a Shoebox" campaign on "Social Saturday" (December 8) make the market a neighbourhood meeting point. Free admission.

For six weeks, from November 12 to December 23, 2026, Wintertreff will occupy Winterhude Market Square in the north of Hamburg. The organizer is bjp GmbH of the Bergmanngruppe.

The focus is on culinary specialities from regional, fair-trade, and organic production: homemade mulled wine and apple punch, as well as changing sweet and savoury stalls. Social highlights include the wish tree for seniors, "Social Saturday" on December 8 with fundraising activities, and the "Advent in a Shoebox" collection campaign for those in need.

Admission is free. Travel by U-Bahn U3 (Sierichstraße) is recommended.
