Frankfurter Künstler-Weihnachtsmarkt

The Frankfurt Artists' Christmas Market (Frankfurter Künstlerweihnachtsmarkt) celebrates its 102nd edition as one of Germany's most distinguished art-focused holiday markets. Organized by the Professional Association of Visual Artists (BBK Frankfurt), this unique market showcases original works from over 100 regional artists across two historic venues in Frankfurt's city center. At St. Paul's Church (Paulskirche), visitors discover an elegant exhibition featuring paintings, graphics, photography, and sculptures in the iconic democratic landmark. The Römer City Hall (Römerhallen) hosts a complementary display emphasizing handcrafted items including jewelry, pottery, and decorative objects. Unlike traditional Christmas markets focused on food and drink, this artists' market prioritizes authentic creativity and craftsmanship, with every piece available for purchase directly from the creators. The market opens with an official ceremony featuring Frankfurt's Lord Mayor at St. Paul's Church, setting a distinguished tone for the season. Both venues maintain the same convenient hours, allowing visitors to explore both locations in a single visit through Frankfurt's picturesque Old Town. Free admission makes this cultural experience accessible to all, while the intimate indoor settings provide a refined alternative to outdoor market bustle. For art enthusiasts and those seeking truly unique Christmas gifts, this market offers an exceptional opportunity to support local artists while finding one-of-a-kind treasures in Frankfurt's most historic settings.
