Market & Festival

When gunpowder drifts through the alleys, jugglers and city guards spread around the city and the people of Stralsund wrap themselves in historical garments, then you know they are back - the Wallensteintage of Stralsund.

Every year, the town festival with its historical market hustle and bustle and lansquenet camp takes you back to the time of the Thirty Years' War, or more precisely to the year 1628. Cannons thunder, lansquenets let their muzzle-loaders crack and powder vapor wafts through the old town.

A stroll through the Old Market gives you a sense of history. The sounds of bag pipes, drums and shawms echo across the square, and haggling merchants advertise their wares. Jesters play their tricks, jugglers tell unbelievable stories and minstrels from faraway lands perform their dancing and singing skills. The smell of fresh garlic bread, grilled bristling cattle, cherry beer and mead fills the air: food and drink from past centuries and faraway lands make the Wallenstein Days a culinary experience.

But the Hanseatic city has more to offer than just history. A colorful, modern merchant route from the Old Market down to the Fish Market invites you to stroll. All amusement addicts can really let off steam at the fairground market with its rides at the Neuer Markt. And for those who need a break after all the colorful hustle and bustle, the cozy beer garden "Bauch & Kehl" - a conglomerate of Stralsund's young entrepreneurs offers an ideal opportunity to relax.

Highlights of the traditional folk festival are the baroque fireworks, a pageant and the evening so-called plague procession.

Admission is free of charge. We urge you to use local transportation.
