„Come, little children!“

…because it’s Christmas time in Gütersloh!

When the Christmas market heralds the Advent season, it’s time for the popular Christmas tours. On these tours, our city guides will take you on a journey of discovery through the festively decorated Dalkestadt.

From the Apostle Church, Brunhilde Kohls will guide you on a tour lasting about two hours, including stops at the nativity scene in the Martin Luther Church, the Christmas market at Berlin Square, and the Evangelisch-Stiftisches Gymnasium (ESG). The city museum is also a stop on this entertaining walk. City guide Brunhilde Kohls shares her knowledge about how Christmas was celebrated in Gütersloh during Prussian times or why speculoos cookies were shipped across the Atlantic to America. The origins of Christmas music traditions, such as tower playing or the uniquely German nocturnal chime, are also topics of our tour.

Barbara Weidler offers a slightly different approach. Here too, you will learn fascinating insider knowledge and get answers to the mentioned questions. Accompanied by the glow of lights and the Advent carillon at the town hall, she starts from there towards Berlin Square. Surrounded by the smell of roasted almonds, she will lead you to the Evangelisch-Stiftisches Gymnasium, into St. Pankratius Church and onto the Old Church Square. The tour ends after about 1.5 hours at Martin Luther Church to the sounds of the nocturnal chime. From there, it’s just a few steps to the Gütersloh Christmas market, where the spicy taste of punch and mulled wine is already waiting for you.
