The city of Butzbach offers on Saturday November 30tham Wednesday, December 4th and on Saturday, December 14, 2024 At 3:30 p.m. we offer an atmospheric city tour through the pre-Christmas decorated Butzbach. The meeting point is in front of the tourist information at Marktplatz 19, where tickets can also be purchased.
This Christmas city tour is a particularly nice opportunity to find out more about traditions and customs during Advent, to be captured by the Christmas spirit and to get to know the city from a different side. In St. Mark’s Church, visitors are invited to observe the church and the birth of Christ; guests also learn what Martin Luther contributed to Christmas. Every year, the town of Butzbach presents its residents with a magnificent Christmas tree, which completes the beautifully illuminated backdrop of the market square and makes the guests’ eyes light up.
In addition to interesting facts about the history of the city center, those interested can also find out more about the Christmas market and beloved traditions. The art historian Christine Borchers-Fanslau will end the tour at the Landgrave’s Castle, again with a special focus on Christmas. A special treat this year is once again the accompaniment of the city tour with music by the folk-pop singer Johannes Meiser.
Traditionally, the Christmas market in Butzbach takes place on the first Advent, this year from November 29th to December 1st, 2024. On Wednesday, December 4th, 2024, the “Christmas Sparkle” on the market square also invites you to enjoy mulled wine. Both events are a perfect combination with the Christmas city tour.
