Maritime Christmas magic in Emden: A feast for the senses!
In Emden, maritime magic is very important at Christmas time. The newly introduced “Maritime Engelkemarkt” attracts visitors with its charming atmosphere and brings a breath of fresh air into the festive season. The first positive feedback shows that the maritime orientation of the market is very well received. NWZonline reports that the museum ships in Ratsdelft not only offer beautiful backdrops, but also actively participate in the Christmas market.
A very special highlight is the Tjalk, which is used as a floating entrance and Christmas lounge. Here visitors can relax by the water and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere. With improved illumination and new attractions such as glass igloos, the market has a distinctive ambience. This year a particularly large number of visitors come from North Rhine-Westphalia, including even from Düsseldorf. The hotels in Emden benefit enormously from the increased number of visitors.
Integration and support
Another aspect that makes the market special is the integration of migrants from the “Bunte Boote” project. This initiative, which promotes exchange and togetherness, brings even more life to the event. The market is also supported by 15 helpers from the naval sponsorship Korvette Emden, who ensure that everything runs smoothly.
A musical treat could be the planned appearance of singer Dilana Smith, which could further heat up the festive mood. In addition, the sale of mulled wine and mulled sausage on the lightship is extremely successful. The logger has also adjusted its opening times to attract as many guests as possible.
Special events and attractions
The events and live music on the Logger enrich the offering and transform Emden Delft into a glittering sea of lights. With a diverse program for every age group, every visitor should get their money's worth. The festival is not only a highlight for the locals, but also attracts Christmas market lovers from across the region. The maritime backdrop and the special flair of the city provide the perfect basis for an unforgettable trip.
Even in a supra-regional context, it is clear that Christmas markets in Germany continue to be very attractive. From large, classic markets to smaller, special events - they appeal to millions of people. ADAC highlights that the selection of exceptional markets extends from the Alps to the North Sea, and the Emden Engelkemarkt is no exception. With its maritime focus and unique concept, Emden has the chance to establish itself as one of the most impressive Christmas markets.
