From November 24 to January 4, experience how the historic old town of Stralsund is transformed into an atmospheric winter wonderland - at the oldest Christmas market in the Baltic Sea region, right in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Old Town.
Look forward to free concerts, a large ice rink, artistic crafts, sweet treats and lots of Christmas magic.
Alter Markt: contemplation and culture
In the heart of the Christmas market, the culture tent invites you to a varied, free program with concerts, readings and more.
From 4 p.m., Birte Bernstein invites you to a storytelling session in the culture tent - stories for young and old listeners to think, join in and join in the conversation.
Birte Bernstein is a storyteller and tells good stories and old fairy tales freely and lively. Free oral storytelling is the smallest form of theater - only without memorized texts. Birte Bernstein tells tales of candles and royal castles, of long journeys and of the donkey in the stable. And you will also find out where the greatest treasure can be found! The storytelling is accompanied by unusual musical instruments.
There is so much to discover:
Gothic town hall cellar: arts and crafts and tradition
