The Kuchlbauer Tower, designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, is illuminated for Christmas. In the historic center of Abensberg, Bavaria, Germany, on December 5, 2024, the area becomes a festive destination during the Christmas season. The traditional Niklasmarkt is voted the 'Most Beautiful Christmas Market in Eastern Bavaria' and attracts many visitors every year. Four Christmas markets in the old town create an atmospheric ambiance, enhanced by numerous lights and festive decorations. The area is illuminated with impressive LED lighting and thousands of twinkling lights. The Huttenzaubermarkt, a smaller but charming market on the town square, offers a variety of arts and crafts stalls as well as a selection of culinary delights ranging from sweet treats to savory snacks. Other highlights include a Christmas market in the beer garden on the grounds of the Kuchlbauer brewery with the Kuchlbauer Tower. More market stalls are located at the leaning tower of Abensberg, the KunstHaus (Art House), which is designed by architect and Hundertwasser student Peter Pelikan.
