The 2026 Dobbertin Advent Market invites you to the historic monastery grounds on Lake Dobbertin on Saturday, November 28, 2026. Amid the old brick architecture, a festive pre-Christmas atmosphere takes shape with lights, candlelight, and the scent of Christmas.
The Advent Market begins at 10:30 a.m. with a festive church service in the Dobbertin monastery church. Starting at 11 a.m., visitors can then stroll through the market and discover the various offerings.
At the stalls, local artisans and craftspeople will showcase their work. Items on offer include woodturnings, ceramics, wrought ironwork, textiles, candles, floral arrangements, and lovingly handmade products.
Refreshments will also be available. Visitors can look forward to bratwurst, soup, fresh-baked goods, mulled wine, punch, and coffee, among other treats. For children, there will be various hands-on activities, craft workshops, and Christmas surprises.
The historic Dobbertin Monastery, with its more than 800-year history and idyllic location right on the lake, provides a special backdrop for the Advent market. The event is an atmospheric outing for the whole family and offers the chance to enjoy the Advent season away from the big cities.
