Around 130 international artists and artisans demonstrate the diversity of old and new handicraft techniques over eleven days. The atmosphere of this unique market will enrapture you because this is the only time in the year when the medieval vaulted cellars and the 100 cubby-holes in the Long Room are freely accessible. Enjoy freshly baked waffles and a glass of Lübeck Rotspon mulled wine and discover the exquisite treasures all around you.

The craft market is organised and run by the German Association of Women and Culture for Lübeck (Deutscher Verband Frau und Kultur e.V., Gruppe Lübeck). More than 200 women work here on a voluntary basis for a good cause: the proceeds are donated towards cultural and social projects in Lübeck.
