The centre of Esslingen - from the town hall
to Hafenmarkt square - is transformed into
a historical winter wonderland for Christmas.
Against a backdrop of half-timbered
façades, travelling folk such as entertainers,
merchants and craftsmen put on a fantastic
medieval spectacle. Marvel at fire jugglers,
superbly costumed artistes from La Compagnie
Entr’act and the torchlight procession
for Winter solstice. Enjoy nailbiting
thrills at the high-rope acrobatics or an oldfashioned
pampering in the medieval bath
house. Just as they would have done hundreds
of years ago, market traders ply handcrafted
goods and serve medieval-style kebabs,
skewers of barbecued pork, wild ox,
hot berry wine and sweet honey mead.
