The Christmas market is from 30 Nov until 23 Dec. It's not the biggest, but it's crowded like anywhere else in a big city and of course there is Gluehwein! The main bit is on Marktplatz. Opening times are Mo-Sat from 10 am till 9 pm and Sun from 11 am till 9 pm.
Some of the Gluehwein comes in really nice mugs with the name of the town and the year printed on. If you buy a Gluehwein you have to pay a deposit for the mug, so you can just keep it if you like. Natalie and I did that. Leave a Comment

 Christmas market in front of
the town hall by Kathrin_E, 3 more photos
The main part is in Market square/Marktplatz but the market keeps growing into the surrounding streets.
In general, the market is all right, but - to be honest - not the one with the greatest flair of the whole country. If you're in the area it's worth a visit, but it's not worth crossing an ocean for.
Beware of the trams, especially after a couple of Glühweins.

The main Christmas Market is at the Marktplatz, but there are some other interesting sights nearby. On Friedrichsplatz for example, there are silhouette scenes of fairy tales. We saw it in daylight, I guess it also looks interesting if it's illuminated in the evening. Next to these silhouettes there are plates with information about the fairy tales, so if you don't know what a scene should represent or if you don't remember the story you can take a look!
Also on Friedrichtsplatz, there's an ice skating rink and an "animal pyramid" that resembles the one of the fairy tale about the Town Musicians of Bremen, only that it's having more "exotic" animals - an elephant, a zebra, a pig (okay, not that exotic..) and a penguin. Interesting... Leave a Comment

If you are there in December I highly recommend going to the Christmas Market in Marktplatz. It is a very interesting event that should be seen by all.This was the first Weinachtsmarkt I ever saw. Leave a Comment
