Lübeck Christmas market: Mulled wine price remains at 4 euros!
The upcoming Christmas markets in Germany bring with them a festive atmosphere, but also rising prices for mulled wine and other treats. But not everywhere visitors have to dig deep into their pockets. For example, the price of mulled wine at the Christmas market in Lübeck remains stable.
The Lübeck Christmas market opens its doors on November 24th, 2025 and the good news for mulled wine lovers: the price remains at four euros, just like last year. As [ndr.de](https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/schleswig-holstein/luebeck_herzogtum-lauenburg_ostholstein/luebecker-weihnachtsmarkt-gluehwein-soll-nicht-teurer- Werden,regionluebecknews-980.html) reports, there will be no price increase for other food and drinks either. Patrick Lauenburger from the Showmen's Association emphasizes that despite general inflation and rising costs, price increases are not being implemented.
Prices at a glance
Anyone who treats themselves to a few treats will also find good news with the other prices. A bratwurst in a bun costs 4.50 euros and 100 grams of roasted almonds costs four euros. This shows: Lübeck does good business by offering visitors fair prices while maintaining tradition.
In contrast, many other German cities have raised prices for mulled wine. A recent study shows that the average price for a cup of mulled wine at Christmas markets is now 4 euros. In some cities, this was done to cover increased energy costs and challenges in the restaurant industry. The highest price increase was in Münster, where the price of mulled wine rose by 60 percent from 2.50 euros to 4 euros, while cities such as Freiburg, Erfurt and Munich also charge 4 euros.
A look at other cities
Pricing varies in many cities. The list of cities with unchanged mulled wine prices is particularly interesting. These include:
- Darmstadt: 3,50 €
- Dortmund: 3,00 €
- Düsseldorf: 4,00 €
- Essen: 3,50 €
- Hannover: 4,50 €
- Rostock: 3,00 €
- Schwerin: 3,50 €
- Ulm: 4,00 €
In addition, there are even cities where prices for mulled wine have fallen, such as Magdeburg and Bonn, while Lübeck has risen from 3.50 euros to 4 euros, which also makes the city comparable in price development.
The upcoming Christmas markets promise a worthwhile experience for many, especially for those who are hoping for a festive atmosphere in Lübeck without price increases. The festival for all the senses remains largely affordable.
