A special visitor experience during the Advent season is the annual Michelstadt Christmas Market.
There are over 100 stalls in a particularly beautiful wooden design, which stand in the streets and alleyways around the world-famous historic half-timbered town hall dating back to 1484.
They offer a wide range of beautiful things to look at and buy as gifts and Christmas essentials.
The many market visitors from near and far are also well catered for. There are lots of tasty things to try.
Hot drinks of all kinds are served in the well-known ceramic mugs, whose motifs change every year and are a nice reminder of the market visit.
There are many market furnishings made by wood sculptors and wood turners, which were created by the classes of the vocational schools in the Odenwald district and are special pieces of jewelry.
There is the nativity scene with a life-size depiction of the Christmas story in the courtyard of the historic winery.
The Christmas pyramid, which is around 7 m high and whose motifs from the Ore Mountains are visible from afar, also rotates there.
Life-size nutcracker figures are market symbols and at the same time provide orientation within the extensive market area.
Also known as large figures are the wooden sculptures of a singing group, several incense smokers and a large colorful wooden music box.
A variety of handicrafts can be seen in the cellar in the winery.
The wood sculptors, wood turners, ivory carvers and carpenters from the vocational schools in the Odenwald district have also set up their show workshop there.
The bakers' guild of the Odenwald district is represented with a show bakery and invites visitors to linger and warm up on cold days with its wide range of delicacies.
The market's wide range of products includes produce from Odenwald farmers who offer specialties from their farms.
The scent of roasted almonds, Christmas baking and hot drinks lingers over everything, inviting you to linger at the many market stalls.
This makes a visit to the Christmas market in Michelstadt a special experience. The daily changing supporting program offers a variety of contributions for children and adults.
