You can look forward to a wide range of goods from textiles and spices to confectionery and jewellery. The Furtwangen retail Christmas market, which takes place together with the Barbara market, adds to this range of goods and at the same time creates a wintery, Christmassy atmosphere. The traders at the Furtwangen weekly market will also contribute to a unique Barbara and Christmas market with their fresh regional produce. The Barbara Market has been held in Furtwangen for over 350 years. Incidentally, it was named after St Barbara. She is considered the protector against fire, plague and thunderstorms as well as the patron saint of artillerymen, miners, architects and bell ringers. Why not visit the Barbara and Christmas market with your family and be inspired by the pre-Christmas atmosphere.
