Nostalgic Christmas market on the church square
Christmas atmosphere, security, a feeling of warmth, delicious scents – all of this is offered by what is probably the most beautiful place in the Ruhr area: the church square.
In these days of Christmas anticipation, Alfred Schulte-Stade's Nostalgic Christmas Market underlines the very special atmosphere of the square surrounded by half-timbered houses with Christmas delicacies, various mulled wine varieties and culinary delights from Schultenhof.
In the splendor of the magnificently decorated Nordmann fir from a Hattingen forest, various Christmas trees offer magical Christmas ideas. Anyone who would like to combine this with a good cause will certainly find what they are looking for in the Sparkasse bank hut of non-profit organizations and associations. The eco-hut offers environmentally conscious shopping with regional and local products. It's worth having a browse.
Festive highlights around St. George's Church
You can feel the breath of history around St George's Church. The splendidly illuminated St George's Church with its tower bell, chiming daily at 5.30 p.m., creates the sense of a special and memorable moment.
The historic St. George's Church with the leaning tower and the magnificent Roetzel organ characterizes the image of the church square and the entire old town. It makes sense to see the impressive building especially in the run-up to Christmas
to stage. Enjoy the special atmosphere right in the heart of the historic old town.
The interior of the church invites you to spend a moment of peace and contemplation. Behind the organ is the historic Kalkantenstube. It is the oldest corner of the 800-year-old church. This place can be reached via a historic staircase from the early 19th century. There, a permanent exhibition (can only be viewed with a guided tour) shows the sophisticated mechanics of the organ with its 2,000 pipes (only 45 can be seen from the front), on which five organ builders worked.
