A look into the history of the Dutch market
The Hollandmarkt has an impressive tradition that goes back over 30 years. The beginnings go back to the spring of 1990 and are strongly linked to the town twinning between Emsdetten and Hengelo. It developed into one of the largest markets of its kind in Germany and today has more than 35 traders offering their Dutch delicacies. The range includes everything from kibbeling and poffertjes to watches and leather goods. Tonight.de emphasizes that at these markets the culinary delights are just as important as the variety of products.
If the delegation to Dortmund is too far or the waiting time until the next visit to the Dutch market is too long, you can visit the weekly markets in Enschede during the breaks. The winter break from December 1, 2025 to March 1, 2026 and the summer break from July 6 to August 31, 2026 are a good opportunity to prepare for the coming markets.
