Fellbach Christmas Market 2025: Steam locomotive & fairytale forest new!

This year there is a new attraction: a steam locomotive that runs over a distance of over 200 meters and is suitable for both adults and children. Powered by steam and coal, it is said to create a very special atmosphere. In addition, the old cemetery will be transformed into a “fairytale forest” in which various fairytale characters and impressive light effects await guests.

Treats and safety measures

A culinary highlight is the new raclette stand, while last year's popular pizza stand takes over. Anyone who likes to be comfortable can also look forward to various stands that primarily offer mulled wine and other delicacies.
