Kunsthandwerkermarkt
Darmstadt Arts & Crafts Market
If you are looking for an unusual piece for your home, an original gift or a special piece of jewellery, the traditional Darmstadt arts and crafts market on the Friedensplatz is just the place for you.
The range on offer is diverse: pieces of jewelry that impress with their special design and high-quality workmanship, ceramic products that are both practical and decorative, unique fashion items that reflect individuality and style and creative design and decorative items that add a special charm to any room.
The market not only offers the chance to purchase exceptional handicrafts, but also the opportunity to learn the stories behind the works and talk to the artisans in person. At one stand or another, visitors can also watch the production process using various techniques, from jewelry making to the customization of belts and wood carvings. Some products can also be customized. There is always sewing, screwing, threading and working on sculptures at the market - so it is not only a sales area, but also a place to exhibit and experience local and national arts and crafts.
The Arts and Crafts Market is sponsored by the science and technology company Merck.
