Advent Market at the Cultural Centre 2026: Info | dierupps.at

Advent in Haslau-Maria Ellend (Maria Ellend district) (Bruck an der Leitha, Lower Austria) enchants visitors with atmospheric winter traditions. An inviting ambience surrounds the modern Kulturhaus: a large second-hand book market, artisan craft stalls in the hall, a children's crafting workshop, readings, and open-air food stands outside serving Schilcher punch and baked jacket potatoes. If you are looking for authentic pre-Christmas cheer in the Carnuntum and northern Burgenland region, the Advent Market at the Kulturhaus is the perfect gathering place. The festive illuminations and the scent of cinnamon, cloves and freshly baked pastries define the charm of this market. Whether it is handcrafted gifts from the region, musical ensembles or sociable get-togethers at the punch stalls – the Advent Market at the Kulturhaus reflects the warmth and tradition of the region. The magic of the festive season in Haslau-Maria Ellend (Maria Ellend district) can also be enjoyed wonderfully in your own home. The winery Die Rupps has been supplying the most traditional Christmas markets across Eastern Austria for decades. Try our new Calamansi Punch (mandarin x kumquat) or the classic Organic Red Mulled Wine for cosy winter evenings with family and friends.

Treat recommendation from Die Rupps: genuine vintner's punch for the festive season

A cosy visit to the market calls for a hot drink of first-class artisan quality. True to the philosophy of cellar master Gerald Rupp – "Only good wine makes good mulled wine!" – family business Die Rupps from Höflein (Lower Austria) relies exclusively on the finest base wines and natural spice extracts rather than artificial flavourings.

An absolute crowd-pleaser is the velvety apricot punch: sun-ripened apricots combine full-bodied fruit sweetness with a delicate acid balance – pure fruity delight for the cold season.

Please note: All dates and opening hours are based on official advance announcements for the 2026 season. Please check www.haslau-mariaellend.gv.at before your visit.
