Battle magic triumphs: Bremen has the most beautiful Christmas market!
This year, the Medieval Battle Magic took the title of the most beautiful Christmas market in Bremen and the surrounding area. According to a survey carried out by the readers of the Weser-Kurier, the Schlachtezauber with its festively decorated stalls and illuminated ships was voted number one. The popular Christmas market captivates both locals and tourists. It takes place in the historic pirate village in the style of the Hanseatic League and offers a variety of delicacies, from hot waffles to strong mocha to warming mead. As Weser-Kurier reports, it's accurate this atmosphere makes the battle magic so special.
The Schlachtezauber is the central meeting point in Bremen during Advent. It begins every year on the first weekend of Advent and ends on December 23rd. Preparations for this event are already in full swing in mid-November. Here you can not only enjoy the smell of mulled wine and eggnog, but also experience the daily performances by minstrels, musicians and jugglers. The small games and open-air performances add to the festive atmosphere and transform the market into a real winter wonderland.
The other placements
Other markets also received strong votes in the survey. The Christmas market around the cathedral secured second place with 36 percent. Third place went to the lights of the Neustadt with 6 percent, followed by the Findorffer Winter Village, which scored 5 percent. This market is known for its neighborly conviviality and historical local color. Vegesacker Winter Fun took fifth place with 4 percent, and wanted to come up with a new concept this year - three to four islands in the pedestrian zone should provide a breath of fresh air.
The Schlachtezauber stands out due to its unique atmosphere, which is characterized not only by the lights and stands, but also by the sociable atmosphere. The combination of traditional crafts, delicious food and entertaining performances makes the visit an unforgettable experience. “A good hand for organization,” you could say, because the anticipation for this Christmas market grows every year.
Whether for a quick, cozy meeting or a longer stay, everyone gets their money's worth at Schlachtezauber. Don't miss this festive occasion! You can find more information on the official [Schlachtezauber] website (https://www.bremen.eu/tourism/culture-and-events/christmas-markets/schlachtezauber).
