Engers celebrates: The Nutcracker Market shines after the fire!
The nutcracker market in Engers is back and it brings happy faces! On November 29th and 30th, 2025, exactly on the first weekend of Advent, the organizers invite young and old to the picturesque setting of the baroque castle on the banks of the Rhine. The market takes place not only in the castle courtyard, but also in the historic town center of Engers, which is festively lit and atmospherically decorated.
After the devastating fire in the engine shed on New Year's Eve 2024, which destroyed all market equipment, the organizers did everything they could to get the popular market back on its feet. By joining forces, the Nutcracker Market will now become a highlight of the pre-Christmas period, with not only the catering industry but also the region's numerous clubs doing their best to create an unforgettable experience.

Festive atmosphere and diverse offers
The atmosphere is characterized by tempting scents such as mulled wine, roasted almonds and the fresher pine green. Visitors can look forward to Christmas-decorated stalls offering everything from handmade Christmas goods to tasty food. Among other things, regional specialties are offered that are prepared by amateur restaurateurs, such as mulled wine, krebbelsche, bratwurst and much more. All offers are provided by the Engers clubs, which gives the market a very special flair.
A tour of the market begins on Alte Schlossstrasse and leads through a wrought iron gate onto Schlossplatz. Here the castle shines in a colorful sea of lights after dark. The historic town hall, whose renovation was completed in 2019, is also used as an exhibition space for local traders. A special visitor magnet are the Christmas-lit half-timbered facades of the Schloss-Schenke and the Old Town Hall from the 17th century.

Cultural supporting program and special highlights
The Nutcracker Market also offers a varied cultural supporting program. Music bands and choirs will perform on the castle stage on both days of the event. Santa Claus is waiting for the little visitors with surprises, and there are exciting Christmas stories in the castle's cellar.
The market square with the Engerser Martinsbrunnen also deserves special attention, as it perfectly complements the Christmas sales atmosphere. The market has become a popular meeting place where people come together to enjoy the first signs of the Christmas season. Weihnachtsmarkt-in-Deutschland.de has summarized all the details about the event days.
