About
Around the statue of the Kiepenkerl, the travelling pedlar of Münster folklore, a handful of stalls form a small Christmas village. The surrounding half-timbered houses make for a cosy backdrop. The focus is on Westphalian specialities, home-made hot punch and crafts. It is a good food stop between the larger markets.
