Josef-Görres-Platz

Festive atmosphere and handmade products

On the first and second weekend of Advent, on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 8 p.m., institutions where people with disabilities live and work present their handmade products. The Förder- und Wohnstätte from Kettig has been there since the beginning and will be represented on both weekends again this year. A new addition is the "Barmherzige Brüder" facility from Saffig, which will be offering its products from the St. Josefs workshops in Plaidt on the second weekend of Advent. The Christmas market promotes inclusion by emphasizing togetherness.

Handicap accessibility of the Christmas market sites

The Koblenz Christmas Market has been in close contact with the city's representatives for the disabled for many years. A joint inspection of all market participants takes place every year. Suggestions for improvement are always implemented to the best of our ability.

Most of the snack bars and food outlets offer tables suitable for the disabled, usually equipped with a bell. Handicap access to the squares is signposted.

Due to the historical construction of the old town, it is hardly possible to make the Christmas market fully accessible. We are working on getting a little better every year and further reducing the number of barriers.

Görresplatz Square

Since 2017, the youngest of the 7 Christmas market squares has also been part of the action. Surrounded by festively illuminated buildings, an idyllic little Christmas village is created at Görresplatz. Things are a little more cozy here, which is why the square is particularly popular with families with small children. A small train makes its tranquil rounds through the Christmas forest around the historical column. In addition to confectionery, exquisite culinary products, wines from the region and woolen, decorative and olive wood items, visitors can also find the finest mulled wine from vintners at Görresplatz. In the cozy, heated seating huts on site, you can spend relaxing hours even in frosty temperatures. Görresplatz also hosts the Musical Advent Calendar every evening from the beginning of December. Various choirs entertain the audience with Christmas songs. On the 1st & 2nd weekends of Advent, the Inclusive Christmas Market also opens its doors at Görresplatz. On these days, several Christmas stalls offer Advent items, handicrafts and handmade products from workshops for the disabled.
