Koblenzer Weihnachtsmarkt - Willi-Hörter-Platz

The Koblenzer Weihnachtsmarkt at Willi-Hörter-Platz is one of seven interconnected Christmas market squares spread across Koblenz's historic old town, and it stands out for its intimate, wine-focused atmosphere set against the grand backdrop of the city's baroque Rathaus (city hall). Positioned at the entrance to the historic Koblenz city hall, between the iconic Schängelbrunnen fountain and a sweeping plane tree, this square offers a distinctly elegant and romantic holiday experience compared to the larger, busier squares nearby. The centerpiece of the Willi-Hörter-Platz market is the beautifully illuminated SchaEngelbar, operated by Klinge OHG, a glittering mulled wine bar adorned with angels, cherubs, fairy lights, and baroque-inspired décor that transforms the square into a sparkling winter wonderland after dark. Wine lovers will be particularly delighted by the exceptional selection of varietal mulled wines — including Chardonnay and Merlot Glühwein — sourced from the regional Weinhaus Lunnebach in Koblenz, alongside chilled white and red wines. Freshly roasted almonds and sweet treats round out the food offerings. Just steps away, through the entrance opposite the SchaEngelbar, lies the Rathaushof (town hall courtyard), where a traditional nativity scene is displayed amid warm, atmospheric lighting — a peaceful retreat from the festive bustle. The SchaEngelbar features two sales points, an indoor seating room, and three covered heated pavilions, with table reservations available for groups of five or more. This square is ideally positioned for a leisurely stroll between the Jesuitenplatz and Am Plan markets, making it a natural stop on any walking tour of the Koblenz Christmas market circuit.
