With joy, we invite you to bring in the Christmas and Advent Season by gathering at RiverOaks Charleston for

CHRISTKINDLMARKT CHARLESTON 2024

 

Our FAMILY

Our family's German traditions began when a young German girl from Dresden, Germany, entered our lives in 1993 as an Aupair living next door. The following year, Conny became part of our family living with us and impacting our home with German culture, traditions, and our first German handcraft, a räuchermann, translating as a "smoker man." That one gift turned into more over the years until we had quite the collection of these incense-smoking figures. They visited our home from the attic each Christmas! 

Our children thought every home had these sights and smells at Christmas. Fast forward nearly three decades later, we are here to share these traditions and goods with you and yours through our homespun, Christmas Markt.

OUR MARKT

Begin a tradition with your family at our Day Markt or a date night or friends outing for our Night Markt. The atmosphere is bustling with shoppers, food, drink, and music, yet peaceful to wander or sit. Our German Christmas Markt in Charleston is inspired by a “Romantik” Christmas Markt in Riedenburg, Germany where we visited in 2018 with Simone, one of our two special German girls like family to us. The Christkindlmarkt Charleston experience includes shopping the wares of local makers, seasonal gifts, decor, and other European finds from England, France, Sweden, Austria, Denmark, and Nepal. Our traditional German handworks are crafted and imported from Seiffen in the Erzgebirge region of the Ore Mountains.
