Offenburger Christmas Market 2026 at Marktplatz
Marktplatz is the heart of the Christmas market. According to the town, 42 stalls are spread across the square. The Klimahain is also part of the market: beneath a canopy of lights, barrels and standing tables invite you to linger. The Christmas pyramid stands behind them. This means you can combine a visit to the market with a stroll through Offenburg town centre.
