Advent Market at Hofgut Gera-Untermhaus: Crafts, Delights, and Festive Atmosphere
On the second Advent weekend, the historic Hofgut in Gera-Untermhaus transforms into a charming Advent market. On December 5th and 6th, 2026, three rustic half-timbered barns, adorned with wood, fir greenery, and festive lighting invite you for a relaxed stroll, exploration, and enjoyment.
Regional Variety in Three Decorated Barns
More than 30 exhibitors present handmade goods, Christmas decorations, and special gift ideas. The documented offerings include ceramics, baking molds, floristry, honey, homemade sausage, art crafts, and other products from artisanal production. Producers and vendors of regional specialties make the market an authentic shopping experience away from the usual Christmas hustle and bustle.
Advent Market Atmosphere and Culinary Delights
Amidst half-timbered buildings, fir greenery, and warm lights, a serene, festive market atmosphere is created. Hearty meals, sweet treats, and mulled wine complement the shopping experience. Volunteer helpers manage the mulled wine stand, contributing to the family character of the Hofgut Advent market.
Music, Choirs, and Saint Nicholas for the Whole Family
On the Hofgut stage, a cultural program featuring music, children's performances, and choirs provides additional Advent spirit. Saint Nicholas will visit the market on both days. On Saturday, he will be accompanied by the Gera Light Fairy. A guessing game for young and old offers entertainment, with a goose from organic husbandry as the main prize.
Opening Hours and Admission
The Advent market is open on Saturday, December 5th, and Sunday, December 6th, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Admission is free. The market is organized by the association for the sustainable promotion of the idea of the Federal Garden Show Gera-Ronneburg 2007 e.V., which has maintained the tradition since the Federal Garden Show in 2007.
Hofgut Gera-Untermhaus connects regional products, craftsmanship, cultural programs, and seasonal delights in a historic setting. Those who want to combine Advent atmosphere with personal shopping experiences and regional variety will find a special market visit in Gera.
