Program and Schedule: What to Expect in Winterhude
The market takes over the Winterhuder Marktplatz on the days when the regular weekly market is not held, and on those days it even expands slightly. On weekdays it usually opens in the early afternoon, while on weekends it opens around midday. One special date is Charity Monday on December 8, when additional fundraising activities take center stage. Since opening hours can vary slightly by day, it is worth checking the current schedule from the city of Hamburg before visiting.
Admission to the Winterhuder Weihnachtstreff
Entry to the Winterhuder Weihnachtstreff is completely free. Visitors only pay for food and drinks, such as mulled wine, punch or small snacks at the stalls.

Eppendorfer Weihnachtsbummel at Marie Jonas Platz
Just a short trip away, the Eppendorfer Weihnachtsbummel on Marie Jonas Platz opens on November 19 and 20, 2026, and traditionally runs until just before Christmas. Regarded as one of Hamburg's most charming small Christmas markets, it features a wooden floor that keeps feet warm, a carousel for children and a festive visit from Saint Nicholas on December 6. Community spirit plays a big role here too, with a Charity Monday and a wish tree for residents of nearby senior care homes.
Treudelberger Weihnachtsmarkt in the Alstertal
A little further north, in the courtyard of the Steigenberger Hotel Treudelberg on Lemsahler Landstraße, the Treudelberger Weihnachtsmarkt offers a calm and elegant atmosphere away from the busy city center.
