The market opens on 13 November and remains open until and including 30 December 2026. Its location on Hindenburgstraße makes it easy to combine a visit with a shopping trip. Its immediate proximity to Minto is especially convenient. However, the Christmas market is completely closed on Totensonntag, 22 November.
