Original Lienzer Lebzelt 1644®

The Original Lienzer Lebzelt 1644® - a culinary specialty for the Advent season - has a very old tradition. Coming from monasteries, the aromatic structures found their way into medieval bakeries. This was also the case in those of Schloss Bruck, where the most beautiful of the local Lebzelt models was brought back to life.

The bakers and confectioners of Lienz revived the old tradition of Lebzelterei in 2006. Exquisite spices such as cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, anise, ginger, fennel, and coriander determine the fine taste of the new Lienzer Lebzelts, based on traditional production. The handmade Lebzelt is filled with Tyrolean cranberries. The pattern embossed in finest marzipan encloses the top of the Original Lienzer Lebzelt 1644® .

Night watchman at the Lienz Advent market

He is an information person for guests, a popular photo motif, and likes to take the time for a chat with the visitors of the Advent market.

At nightfall, the night watchman starts his rounds at the Lienz Advent Market with his halberd, looks after the "right", takes care of the concerns and questions of the guests, and is especially helpful to the little market visitors. At 9 pm sharp, the market life ends with his traditional night call. The lights in the Advent houses go out and silence returns to the Main Square in Lienz.

Living Workshop

In the living workshop, craftsmen and artists demonstrate their skills, provide insights into their art on site, and are happy to let guests and visitors "look over their shoulder" while they work.

Deferegger Senf

Deferegger Senf

At the Lienz Advent market, they have been called the "potato manda" lovingly for 24 years. There is a reason for this, because the much sought-after stove-ores with bacon and sour cream sauce are legendary. The Zwoschpa-Heidelberelwein is also really popular, even if it is almost unspeakable for non-deferegger. At the stand of the "potato manda" there is also the popular Deferegger mustard in a wide variety of flavors and this year even in five organic variants made in East Tyrol.
