Weihnachtsbummel Eppendorf

The Weihnachtsbummel Eppendorf brings charming neighborhood Christmas spirit to Marie-Jonas-Platz in Hamburg's upscale Eppendorf district. This intimate market, one of Hamburg's smallest yet most beloved, centers around the cozy "Glühwurm" punch hut, creating a hygge-filled atmosphere perfect for families and locals seeking an authentic, community-focused holiday experience. The market features a delightful children's carousel that spins throughout the season, while special visits from the Witch Knickebein for advent singing, a Christmas angel every Wednesday at 4pm with a treasure chest of surprises, and St. Nicholas himself on December 6th make this market particularly magical for young visitors. Food offerings emphasize regional and sustainable choices, with warming classics like Grünkohl (kale), Kartoffelpuffer (potato pancakes), Crêpes, and Schmalzkuchen (fried dough), alongside new additions like goat cheese in Flenbrot and organic sausages. The beverage selection at the Glühwurm includes apple punch with almonds, Gløgg, cherry punch, hot chocolate, classic Glühwein, organic Boddenpunsch, and even Glühbier. The market's commitment to sustainability shines through its use of regional suppliers, fair-trade products, eco-friendly electricity, and plastic-free operations. Charitable initiatives support the Children's Cancer Center Hamburg, with donation boxes at stalls and the "Advent in a Shoebox" campaign collecting warm clothing and essentials for those in need. Visit this gem for an authentic Hamburg Christmas experience that prioritizes community, sustainability, and family joy.
