Hessen is still in the Corona crisis. Nevertheless, the Christmas market in Frankfurt is to take place in 2021 – without access restrictions, but with a mask requirement.
Update from Friday, November 19, 2021, 6.30 p.m .: The city of Frankfurt has reacted to the increasing corona numbers and tightened the corona rules for the Frankfurt Christmas market. There is now a mask requirement “including some closely adjoining areas” on the entire site. For eating or drinking as well as for the consumption of tobacco products, however, the mask may be temporarily removed on the spot, according to the city of Frankfurt in its announcement on Friday (November 19, 2021).
“We are very pleased that our Frankfurt Christmas market can actually take place thanks to the current resolutions from Berlin. Our additional new mask requirement is a good way to go – we are once again tightening the requirements of the federal and state governments, ”said Frankfurt Mayor Peter Feldmann.
Nevertheless, it is important that people continue to be careful when they die. “So take care of yourself and others and wear a mask,” says Feldmann. The Christmas market in Frankfurt starts on Monday (November 22nd, 2021).
Christmas market in Frankfurt: 2G rule in certain areas
Update from Monday, November 15, 2021, 5 p.m .: The city has specified its Corona concept for the Christmas market in Frankfurt. A message from Friday (November 12th, 2021) should not have any access restrictions in large parts of the market. Lord Mayor Peter Feldmann said: “It should be a Christmas market for everyone.” In two smaller areas, however, the 2G rule is provided. In addition, a mask requirement should apply in crowded situations and when queuing at stalls.
These measures contradict an announcement by the city on Monday (November 15, 2021). According to this guild, the “2G plus mask” concept will be used in future urban events. In view of the increasing number of corona cases in Hessen, further measures can also be taken before the Christmas market.

Cancellation of the Frankfurt Christmas market is still possible
The homepage of the Christmas market in Frankfurt also states that “that, depending on the course of the pandemic, the Christmas market can still be completely canceled.” Currently, however, the situation looks good and planning is in full swing. We answer the most important questions.
Will the Christmas market in Frankfurt in 2021 take place as usual?
According to the current status, the city of Frankfurt is working flat out together with Tourismus + Congress GmbH Frankfurt to ensure that the 2021 Christmas market can take place from November 22nd to December 22nd. The distances between the stands are to be increased, but the magic of the booth – if possible – should again extend from the Römer to the Hauptwache and die Ausläufer to the Zeil Frankfurt *.
On the homepage of the Christmas market in Frankfurt, however: “We bit for understanding that cancellation cannot be completely ruled out at this point in time.
Which corona rules apply to the Christmas market in Frankfurt in 2021?
According to current plans, more space for visitors is to be created at the Christmas market in Frankfurt in 2021. The state of Hesse also stipulates that where the minimum distance of one and a half meters cannot be maintained, everyone should wear a mask. Accordingly, a mask requirement in the crowd and when queuing at the stalls is gold-plated on the entire site at the Christmas market in Frankfurt.
There should only be access restrictions on the Roßmarkt and the Pink Christmas Market on Friedrich-Stoltze-Platz. The 2G rule then applies there. For school-age children and adolescents under 18 years of age, a negative test result is required; the test booklet from the school is sufficient as proof. Children under the age of six do not need proof. In the 2G areas, there is no need to wear masks or keep distances.
What will be offered to visitors at the Christmas market in Frankfurt 2021?
This question cannot yet be finally answered, as the city of Frankfurt is still in the middle of planning together with Tourismus + Congress GmbH Frankfurt. But of course there will be a Christmas tree on the Römer – as every year – and Bethmännchen, mulled wine and Christmas baubles should also be part of the repertoire.
In addition, the culinary highlights are waiting for the visitors, for the small guests (but also for the big ones), if everything goes well, the big carousel on the Römer should also be. The exact design of the Christmas market in Frankfurt 2021 will be adjusted dynamically depending on the current corona situation.
