Leopoldim market in Waidhofen: Advent magic for a good cause

The beginning of the Advent season was celebrated in Waidhofen an der Thaya with the opening of the 20th Leopoldim market in the castle. This event, which took place on Friday, has developed into a permanent tradition over the years. The market is organized by the association "Wald4tler Leopoldi with heart" under the direction of chairwoman Pia Gudenus.

The special thing about this market is that the entire proceeds will benefit social projects. This year the money goes to the youth group of the Waidhofen fire brigade. Commandant Christian Bartl and the Mayor Josef Ramharter were in the front row at the opening to show the support for this important initiative. The fire brigade youth are strengthened by these donations in their valuable work, which is important for security and community in the region.

A diverse range of stands

The market offers a variety of stands where regional products and craftsmanship are offered for fees. From handmade decorative items made of wood to local culinary products, there is something to discover for every taste. Rosalinde Steinberger and Monika Kölnecht provided the musical accompaniment, which underlined the festive mood of the market.

Visitors can look forward to a colorful range. Metall presser Rudolf Effenberger presented his works of art, while the stands of Franz and Anna Moldals offered honey and products from beekeeping. Fanny Aretin offered clothing made of recycled material and Christa Scherak brought sweet teddy bears and gazing goods that were particularly popular with the children.

The Leopoldimarkt is more than just a sales event; It is a place of getting together, joy and giving. The proceeds are not only donated to the fire brigade youth, but also to various social projects that are supported in the region.

It is of the greatest importance to strengthen the community and help people in need. This tradition, which has grown in the past two decades, shows how important volunteer work and cohesion are in society.

Anyone who visits the market helps to continue to implement these positive projects. It is an opportunity not only to buy gifts for the upcoming holidays, but also to make a difference in other people's lives.

The opening of the Leopoldim market means the official start of the Advent season for the city of Waidhofen an der Thaya. The market is still open until the end of Advent and invites everyone to come by, browse and enjoy the festive atmosphere.
