Wernigerode

Merry Christmas, Christmas is just around the corner.
Isn't that marvellous? Merry Christmas,
Christmas is just around the corner, as we all know, every year.

The Christmas market in Wernigerode will open on
Friday 21 November 2025 and ends on 22 December 2025.

There will also be many other events, such as the winter market at the turn of the year.
Give yourself the gift of time to stay for Christmas magic. Immerse yourself in the Christmas lights and let yourself be tempted by regional specialities and special offers. You can expect traditional craftsmanship, culinary delights, live music, attractions for children and, of course, mulled wine in all its flavours.

Had enough of the Christmas hustle and bustle?

A trip with the video drone through Wernigerode via Schierke up to the Brocken shows many sights worth seeing in the region.
Maybe one or the other will be inspired to see something in the "original".
