Marché de Noël – Weihnachtsmarkt in den Stadthöfen

From November 13 to December 23, 2025, Hamburg's Stadthöfe will once again shine in festive splendor, offering a unique Christmas atmosphere. The Christmas Market invites you to linger and enjoy – Tuesday through Sunday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and Mondays from 3:00 PM.

This year, visitors can look forward to special moments of enjoyment beneath cozy nativity tables and on warm furs – with even more highlights than ever before! New to the lineup is a genuine German winemaker's mulled wine in red, white, and rosé from a renowned winery in Rheinhessen – a true insider tip for mulled wine lovers. The culinary offerings have also been further expanded: In addition to popular classics such as tarte flambée, crêpes, and Thuringian bratwurst, this year for the first time also features hearty, creamy mashed potatoes and freshly baked doughnuts.

A special extra for unforgettable memories: our brand-new photo booth – ideal for Christmas snapshots with friends and family! A magical part of the program that shouldn't be missed: Fortune teller Esmeralda will be back, offering a glimpse into the year 2026. And on select days, atmospheric live music will round out the experience and create a true Christmas spirit.

The Bleichenhof is easily accessible via the Große Bleichen, Stadthausbrücke, Bleichenbrücke and the Neuer Wall.

Mehr Licht! (3 - 10 Jahre + Erw.)

Of Waves, Particles, and Fear of the Dark | Director: Hannah Kowalski | Advisor: Tine Krieg | Performance: Hannah Kowalski & Guy Marsan | Lighting: Hans Leser & Nicolas Wolf | Music: Tobias Kleine & Milena Pohl | Set Design: Hanno Krieg & Marie Roth

What is a light wave? Why is the sky blue? Can we run away from our shadows? Light is a bit like magic—it makes things disappear and reappear, banishes bad dreams, and is faster than anything else. The mystery and beauty of light influence us every day. It is only because of light that we can see anything at all.

But what do you have to do to see light for yourself? The theater is an ideal place to find out, because light plays a crucial role in the theater. Therefore, we want to use the stage to examine light itself and playfully explore what fascinates science and art about light. We invite you to the research theater to explore this mysterious something called light.

MONTBLANC HAUS - AN EXHIBITION. AN EXPERIENCE. A PLACE TO INSPIRE WRITING.

With the MONTBLANC HAUS, the Hamburg-based company has created a place that inspires writing. Find out more about Montblanc's history and rediscover writing in two exhibitions, the public tour of the manufacturing facility and creative courses in the Writing Atelier.

INSPIRE WRITING: The permanent exhibition

Located in direct proximity to the headquarters and the only manufacturing facility worldwide where Montblanc writing instruments are crafted, the INSPIRE WRITING exhibition tells the story of the start-up that later became Montblanc. Discover original handwritings of icons such as Frida Kahlo and Ernest Hemingway and take a look behind the scenes of the team that crafts our most exclusive writing instruments. Find out how our nibs are made and dive even deeper into the world of writing.

EXPERIENCE A DAY IN THE MONTBLANC HAUS

At the MONTBLANC HAUS, we want to inspire all age groups to write: Whether as an excursion with the family at the rally for 6-12 year olds with the Sesame Street characters, a calligraphy course in our Writing Atelier or a visit to the unique Montblanc writing instrument manufacturing facility. In addition to the permanent exhibition, the MONTBLANC HAUS has a temporary exhibition that changes every year to show new perspectives on the written word.

The MONTBLANC HAUS boutique and the in-house Bistro 149 invite you to linger - even without a ticket for the exhibition.
