Rheinhessische Weihnacht in the Electoral Palace Mainz
On Sunday, December 20, 2026, the Rheinhessische Weihnacht invites you to a festive concert evening in the Great Hall of the Electoral Palace Mainz. Starting at 5:00 PM, the Christmas music format combines Rheinhessian dialect with atmospheric string sounds, band music, and colorful instrumentation.
Christmas in Mainz Style
The focus is on a regional Christmas tradition that connects familiar Advent atmosphere with the special sound of Rheinhessen. Christmas songs in Mainz dialect meet humorous speeches, musical warmth, and the unmistakable closeness to the region. The Mainz native Pit Rösch dedicates himself to a Christmas repertoire that merges regional identity and festive atmosphere.
Rheinhessian Voices and Versatile Music
Accompanied by the HUMBAs, DobbelBock, and other contributors, a varied concert evening unfolds. The chamber music ensemble Laubenheim KAMEL creates colorful arrangements in which classical string sounds, pop beats, and Rheinhessian dialect blend together. This creates a musical shopping experience for the ears, which thrives less on market stands and more on regional culture, local connection, and shared Advent joy.
Festive Market Atmosphere in the Palace
The Rheinhessische Weihnacht draws on well-known images of the Christmas season: Christmas market, mulled wine, Erzgebirge handicrafts, and influences from around the world. This develops its own regional character that connects the colors, scents, and stories of the Advent season with the Rheinhessian way of life. Visitors experience an atmospheric evening between tradition, music, and local culture.
