From the first to fourth weekend of advent

The district city is located close to Bonn and Cologne, and is easily accessible from all
directions by public transport.

Almost 1000 years of
city history are revived at
Christmastime in
Siegburg
On the stroke of the first Saturday in advent, the vagrants
are arriving in Siegburg: Medieval master craftsmen,
merchants and minstrels will put up their tents and stalls,
display their wares and enchant the city at the foot of the Michaelsberg with their exuberant hustle and bustle. With approx. 50 market stalls, craftsmanships are revived which are nowadays seldom practised, or, in some cases, have even completely vanished. For over a decade, this pectacle has been a Siegburg tradition – the genuine market is an integral part of city life during advent. All this takes place without electricity and artificial light – an atmospheric image
at the heart of Siegburg’s historic setting.
