The Neuzelle Monastery offers a picturesque setting for the traditional fairytale Christmas market. Craftsmen, hobby artists, clubs and traders offer a range of Christmas goods and typical specialities. Well-known fairy tale characters are on the move at the Christmas market and also inspire the little visitors of the market. Prince Albrecht and Santa Claus personally lead through a Christmas stage program. A musical Christmas mood is created by a marching band, tower blowers and numerous school orchestras. At dusk, the monasteries and the houses of the town shine in an atmospheric play of lights.
