The Aachen Christmas market, which takes place annually during Advent from the end of November to December 23rd, was founded in the 1970s. The Printenmarkt, as it was previously called, was only located around the Elisenbrunnen, whereas today the Christmas market takes place on the Aachen market and the Katschhof. — Wikipedia · translated · verified 2026-09-30
