Magical Christmas market: Villa Kunterbunt for children in Bergedorf!

At the Bergedorf Christmas market the anticipation of the festive season is blossoming. A highlight for little visitors is the children's world 'Villa Kunterbunt', a creative place that was created from Astrid Lindgren's enchanting stories about Pippi Longstocking. In a forest at the market, a world full of toys and crafts awaits the children. Here you can let your imagination run wild and make new friends.

The weekend becomes particularly exciting when the children can bake cookies themselves. Santa Claus has also arrived - with his own, lovingly designed room that looks like a Scandinavian fireplace room. There he tells stories there in the afternoon and offers the children the opportunity to take photos and hand in their wish lists. If you would like to meet Santa Claus, you should be at the Bergedorf Christmas market on Wednesday or Saturday at 3 p.m., because then he will be there in person. And the best thing about it: All offers for little visitors are free!

A piece of Sweden in the heart of Bergedorf

The Villa Kunterbunt at the Christmas market is not only a creative space, but is also reminiscent of the original house in Vimmerby, Sweden. This is a cultural monument and attracts numerous families and literature fans every year. The vibrant colors and chaotic construction of the Swedish original reflect the freedom and adventure that Pippi Longstocking represents. Visitors to Sweden can explore the house all year round and experience the fascination of the stories first hand.

Astrid Lindgren, the great writer who created this character, may no longer be with us, but her stories live on. Her stories are deeply rooted in Swedish culture and have captured the hearts of many children here too. The stories about Pippi, Michel and the other children from Bullerbü remain popular today, and there is even an anthology of Christmas stories that showcases the joy of these characters during the festive season. One such collection includes the story “Pippi plunders the Christmas tree,” which is about an exuberant celebration with delicious treats such as cream cake.

Tradition and communal celebration

Christmas in Lindgren's stories is characterized by traditions that the Bergedorf Christmas market also takes up. Whether singing together, decorating Christmas trees or preparing festive dishes - all of these customs invite you to celebrate the festival with friends and family. This means that every visitor can experience a piece of Swedish holiday culture up close.

Both the offerings for children and the Christmas traditions create an atmosphere that invites you to linger and celebrate. So if you're looking for a sounding, happy break this Advent season, you should definitely pay a visit to the Christmas market.
