Mühlhausen's Christmas Markets at a Glance
Mühlhausen Christmas Market: The Traditional Town Market at Untermarkt
The Mühlhausen Christmas Market is the heart of the Advent season in the city, spreading across Untermarkt, Kristanplatz and Bachplatz around the Divi Blasii Church. Numerous vendors offer festive crafts, seasonal treats and rides for families, with Santa Claus visiting daily. 2026 dates: December 9 to 13.
Historic Advent Market: Small Town Charm in the Medieval Old Town
Set within the narrow lanes and half timbered houses of Mühlhausen's old town, the market takes on a smaller and especially traditional character across several squares, reflecting the historic core of this former free imperial city. These areas run within the same period, December 9 to 13, 2026.
Old Town Advent Program: Concerts and Events in the City Center
Beyond the market stalls, a varied cultural program of concerts, musical performances and local events adds extra festive spirit throughout the city center. The full program is published each year in the special Mühlhäuser Advent guide and runs alongside the market in December 2026.
