Lienz Advent Market

"Advent in Lienz - Einmal wieder Kind sein." Unter diesem Motto verwandelt sich der Hauptplatz und die Liebburg, das Rathaus der Stadt, in der Vorweihnachtszeit zum einzigartigen Lienz Advent Market : kunstvoll dekorierte Stände, Lichterketten, Feuerstellen, der Duft von Lebkuchen, Kiachln, Glühwein und heißer Tee, begleitet von stimmungsvollen Klängen - das sind die Zutaten, die den Lienzer Advent zu etwas Besonderem machen.

Advent in Lienz

Einmal wieder Kind sein

The main square and the Liebburg, the town hall of the city, transform into the unique Lienz Advent market during the pre-Christmas season: artistically decorated stalls, fairy lights, fireplaces, the scent of gingerbread, Kiachln, mulled wine, and hot tea, accompanied by atmospheric sounds, these are the ingredients that make the Lienz Advent special. Original gift ideas, Christmas decorations, traditional crafts, and culinary delights make the Advent market a sociable and atmospheric meeting place for thewhole family; and with a bit of luck, the snow may start to gently fall during that time...

Original Lienz Lebzelt 1644®

The Original Lienz 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 also happened in those of Schloss Bruck, where the most beautiful of the Lebzelt models there was brought back to life.

The bakers and confectioners of Lienz revived the old tradition of Lebzelterei in 2006. Exquisite spices like 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 Lienz Lebzelt 1644® .

Night watchman at the Lienz Advent Market

He is an information person for guests, a popular photo opportunity, and enjoys taking the time for a chat with the visitors of the Advent market.

At nightfall, the night watchman begins his rounds at the Lienz Advent Market with his halberd, looks after the "rights", takes care of the concerns and questions of the guests, and is particularly 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 Lienz Main Square.

Lienz Krampus Days

The Lienz Krampus Days on the 3rd, 5th, and 6th of December are one of the spectacular highlights of the pre-Christmas season. According to centuries-old tradition, young boys hide behind artistically hand-carved masks, wrap themselves in thick, shaggy furs, and adorn themselves with huge bells to participate in parades and processions as "Krampuses" with deafening noise.

The preparation time begins for the members of the Lienz St. Nicholas and Krampus Association already with the first days of autumn. The masks, called "larvae", are carved from wood, furs cleaned and cut, and massive belts made to carry the heavy bells.

On time for the 3rd of December, the processions and runs of the Krampuses begin in Lienz. Barricades and stewards separate the wild figures from the spectators and visitors of the processions, ensuring that the Lienz Krampus Days become a beautiful and eventful event, to which guests, parents, and children are warmly welcome.

Krampusumzüge:

December 3rd, 7:30 pm: Johannesplatz with St. Nicholas presents (city center)

December 5th, 7:30 pm: Patriasdorf district with St. Nicholas presents

December 6th, 6:30 pm: Entry of the young Krampuses in the city center

Deferegger Senf

Deferegger Senf

Am Lienz Advent Market nennt man sie seit 24 Jahren liebevoll die „Kartoffel-Manda“. Das hat seinen Grund, denn die heiß begehrten Ofen-Erdäpfl mit Speck und Sauerrahm-Sauce sind legendär. Richtig beliebt ist auch der Zwoschpa-Heidelbeerglühwein, auch wenn er für Nicht-Deferegger fast unaussprechlich ist. Am Stand der „Kartoffel-Manda“ gibt es auch den beliebten Deferegger Senf in den verschiedensten Geschmacksrichtungen und heuer exklusiv sogar in fünf in Osttirol hergestellten Bio Varianten zu kaufen.
