Engelchen-Markt

The Engelchen-Markt (Little Angel's Market) transforms Heinrich-Heine-Platz into a heavenly Christmas wonderland in the heart of Düsseldorf. This intimate market takes its design inspiration from the Art Nouveau music pavilion at its center and the sandstone façade of the historic Carsch-Haus, creating a cohesive golden aesthetic throughout. Golden angel figures crown each market stall, watching over visitors as they browse through the festively illuminated square. The market offers a carefully curated selection of traditional German Christmas goods, including Aachen Printen gingerbread, handcrafted slippers, colorful tins of tea, and modern Christmas decorations. Artisan vendors showcase unique items like hand-carved wooden angels, glass ornaments, and handmade jewelry. The central music pavilion, adorned with floral wrought-iron motifs and angel figures, serves as the perfect gathering spot to enjoy mulled wine while soaking in the festive atmosphere. Food stalls tempt visitors with traditional German treats including bratwurst, potato pancakes (Kartoffelpuffer), roasted almonds, and various sweet delicacies. Located conveniently between Düsseldorf's Old Town and the famous Königsallee shopping street, the Engelchen-Markt is easily accessible and forms part of Düsseldorf's network of seven interconnected Christmas markets. Visit during evening hours when the entire plaza becomes a glittering sea of lights reflected in the golden angels above.
