Medieval Christmas market at Wittelsbacherplatz 2026: dates and opening times

The organiser gives the period from 20 November to 23 December 2026. The stalls are normally open daily from 11 to 21. The only exception explicitly mentioned in the current notice reviewed is Sunday, 22 November, Remembrance Sunday: the medieval market is closed that day. So you should not plan to visit the market on that day. The Christmas market opens with a ceremony on Friday, 20 November, at 18. However, the market opens to visitors at 11 as usual that day.

Munich Advent spectacle with a historic atmosphere

Wittelsbacherplatz is on Brienner Straße in the Maxvorstadt district. During the Christmas market, it becomes a market area with historically styled stalls, fire pits and a medieval atmosphere. Munich's city website describes the market as a special place for arts and crafts and Christmas gifts. You can stroll among the stalls and enjoy a different atmosphere from that of the traditional Christkindlmarkets. The market is organised by the private organiser Medieval Monacum OHG and is not the same as the city's Christmas market at Marienplatz.

Medieval Christmas market at Wittelsbacherplatz 2026: craftspeople and gift ideas

The concept puts traditional and artistic crafts centre stage. According to the organisers, you will find market stalls styled in a medieval fashion, offering decorative goods and a range of arts and crafts. Traders also sell Christmas gifts and unusual little items. The individual businesses attending on each day may vary during the market. So we cannot promise a complete list of traders or an exact number of stalls without a definitive 2026 overview. A stroll around the market is well worth it, especially if you are looking for a personal gift.

Hot drinks and food from another era

Food and drink also play a major part in the Munich Advent spectacle. The official city events page singles out hot mead as a typical medieval drink. Food and other hot drinks are also on offer. You can take a short break among the historically styled stalls and warm up. The general 2026 organiser page does not fully specify which dishes and prices each trader offers. So we do not list unconfirmed menus or supposedly guaranteed individual prices.

Cultural programme on the Advent weekends

According to the organiser, a special cultural programme is planned for every Advent weekend. The historic market setting provides a fitting backdrop. The official opening takes place on Friday, 20 November, at 18; patron Svenja Jarchow-Pongratz and Mayor Verena Dietl are announced as attending. If you want to see a particular performance, you should check the organisers' current programme before your visit. The general information page does not list all specific performer times, so we have not added any unverified performance dates.
