Strohfigur vor dem Rathausturm

3.th - 5th October 2025
Farmers' and regional market

Rural flair came to Kiel's city centre and Holtenauer Straße! As part of the farmers' and regional market, regional producers and vendors presented their diverse agricultural and artisan products every day.

This year's highlight: the straw figures from the Probsteier Korntage came to Kiel and decorated the town hall square.

Sunday shopping on 5 October from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The highlight on the town hall square

On show in Kiel for the first time
The straw figures of the Probsteier Korntage

Visitors marvelled at straw figures from the Probstei region and enjoyed products from Kiel and the surrounding area.

Local suppliers presented themselves in the regional window, supported by the Fördekooperation – the inter-municipal association of the City of Kiel and the surrounding municipalities.

At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture invited guests to an organic consumer market as part of the first Organic Action Week, which showcased the variety of organic products from the state.

Visitors discovered and sampled organic products from Schleswig-Holstein and, of course, took them home. Whether savoury or sweet – there was something for every taste: juicy organic burgers made from regional Galloway beef, delicious vegetarian alternatives, freshly brewed coffee, homemade cakes, and a selection of vegan organic spreads.

There were also exciting insights from Solawi Schinkeler Höfe, who presented the concept of community-supported agriculture – an idea that directly connects producers with consumers.

The youngest guests were also catered for: children gave free rein to their creativity in the colourful farm-themed painting corner.

The programme: What visitors could expect at the farmers' and regional market

Holstenplatz

Heu und Trockenblumen beim Bauernmarkt

On Holstenplatz, the numerous stalls invited visitors to browse among leather goods, hay wreaths, knitwear, and jams.

Various gastronomic offerings catered to their physical well-being, while a large selection of autumnal plants rounded off the varied offer.

Europaplatz

Kürbisse auf dem Bauernmarkt

Visitors shopped for and enjoyed seasonal fruit and vegetables, along with a variety of delicacies such as honey from Kiel, quark balls, and crêpes.

"Der mit dem grünen Hut" ("The one with the green hat") conjured up a colourful circus programme for young and old every day.

Asmus-Bremer-Platz

Viele Menschen an Tischen auf dem Asmus Bremer Platz

Delicious food and cool beer from Dithmarscher invited visitors to feast and linger, while the younger guests tried out their creativity.

On Friday, sculptures were carved out of soap all day with the "Geschichtswerkstatt Barockoko", and on Saturday and Sunday, "Friedrich Illustration" invited guests to paint postcards with autumnal motifs.

Old market

Geschmiedetes Herz

The international blacksmiths' meeting once again took place on the Alter Markt, where blacksmiths from different countries presented their craft live.

Visitors watched the blacksmiths at work, admired unique works of metal art, and learned more about this ancient tradition. They could also take part themselves.

Under the motto "Forging for human rights", hearts and candle holders were made on site for a small donation. All proceeds went to the human rights organisation "Target".

A special highlight for the whole family!

Obere Holstenstraße

The play mile from the canal to the Alter Markt offered fun for the little ones, despite the construction site mess.

St Nikolai Church forecourt

Vorplatz der Nikolaikirche beim Bauernmarkt

The rural youth from Flintbek showcased their modern agricultural machinery in front of St Nikolai Church on Saturday and Sunday. Visitors had the opportunity to marvel at the impressive vehicles up close and even take a seat themselves.

It was an exciting opportunity to experience modern agriculture up close!
