Weihnachtsmarkt Dortmund - Reinoldi Nord-Seite

The Weihnachtsmarkt Dortmund at Reinoldi Nord-Seite offers a charming, intimate experience within one of Europe's largest Christmas celebrations. Located on the north side of the historic Reinoldikirche church, this section of the Dortmunder Weihnachtsstadt features traditional wooden stalls specializing in handmade goods and artisan crafts, creating a cozy atmosphere distinct from the bustling main market areas. As part of the broader Dortmund Christmas market complex that spans over 250 stalls, the Reinoldi Nord-Seite area maintains a more traditional character perfect for discovering unique gifts and authentic German Christmas decorations. Visitors can browse handcrafted ornaments, wooden toys, and artisan ceramics while enjoying the festive ambiance beneath the illumination of the world's largest Christmas tree visible from nearby Hansaplatz. The market offers classic German Christmas treats including Glühwein served in collectible annual mugs, gebrannte Mandeln (roasted almonds), Bratwurst, and Westphalian grilled ham. The Reinoldi Nord-Seite location provides easy access to the spectacular Dortmunder Zeitreise light installations that transform the city center into a magical winter wonderland. With free admission and extended evening hours, this market area invites leisurely exploration of traditional craftsmanship in a quintessentially German Christmas setting.
