Mulled wine and punch for a good cause
For many years, the "People in Need" initiative of Heilbronner Stimme has been committed to helping people in the region who find themselves in exceptional emergencies. The TSV Künzelsau is also participating again and will offer mulled wine, punch, and Christmas wreaths in support of this initiative on December 4th, 2025. District Administrator Ian Schölzel, Mayor Stefan Neumann, and the sports district chairpersons will personally serve the drinks, accompanied by Heilbronner Stimme and singer Madeline Willers.

For the sake of our environment
You can borrow the city's cups and food containers from the "Local to go" reusable system for a deposit of 3 euros at the Christmas market. The initiative "Once without, please" encourages you to bring your own containers to help reduce waste together. To give the decorative Christmas trees used for the Christmas market a second home, they will be available for purchase on Sunday from 6 PM for 20 euros. Come directly to the stage and take your desired tree home with you.

Look forward to a festive atmosphere, great company, and magical moments at the Advent at the Castle.
