Welcome to the
Oberhausen Christmas Market
In Oberhausen there are two Christmas Markets, one in the old town market square and the other at CentrO, europe's most modern shopping and leisure centre.
In the city centre the Oberhausen Christmas Market is transformed into a forest of Christmas Trees, which looks especially romantic when it snows; it is almost like having a Christmas Market in the middle of the Black Forest.
Here, thirty beautifully decorated stalls offer a wide range of food, hot Glühwein and hand made Christmas gifts.
A variety of daily performances and events will take place on the "Forest Stage", ranging from irish folk music to hunting horn concerts or some local theatre performances.
For children there is a historic carousel, and
at the weekend, Friday to Sunday, big Bob will make a daily appearance at 4pm, as Farther Christmas, handing out presents to the little ones.
For the ultimate shopping experience Centro offers an incredible Christmas Market with over 150 wooden stalls.
During the festive season the mall is transformed with over 3 million light bulbs, 65,000 new Christmas decorations and more than 4,000 crystals, all sparkling fabulously.
For food and drink there is a traditional alpine hut offering delicious ham and cheese platters.
Other Christmas market highlights include a glassblowing factory, the original Coca Cola truck, as seen on TV, a 20 metre high Christmas wish tree and a range of top class music performances.
Located in the heart of the Ruhr region, Oberhausen is offering two Christmas markets which is very different to any other Christmas market in Germany.
