Tradition to Touch: The 3rd Trachten Market at the Wendish Museum
On July 10, 2026, the inner courtyard of the Wendish Museum in Cottbus will feature vibrant Sorbian and Wendish traditional costume culture alongside a genuine market experience. From 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, sellers of historical and new costume pieces invite visitors to browse, chat, and discover. Admission is free; card payment is not possible.
Sorbian Costume in Direct Conversation
The Trachten Market focuses on closeness rather than distance: Visitors encounter garments with history, learn more about their origins, craftsmanship, and traditional significance, and get to know the diversity of Sorbian and Wendish costume pieces firsthand. This is what makes this market particularly attractive: regional identity, craftsmanship, and cultural knowledge in one place.
Historical and New Pieces with Character
Both historical and new costume pieces will be offered. Those interested in fabrics, embroideries, accessories, and the fine differences in regional clothing culture will find a shopping experience with rare depth. The market is aimed at anyone who appreciates quality, tradition, and authentic craftsmanship.
Market Atmosphere in the Museum Courtyard
The inner courtyard of the Wendish Museum creates an atmospheric setting for the Trachten Market. The quiet location in the heart of Cottbus, the museum environment, and personal conversations with the vendors provide a relaxed, culture-related atmosphere. A visit can be nicely combined with a tour of the museum.
Practical Information for Visitors
The Wendish Museum is centrally located at Mühlenstraße 12 in 03046 Cottbus. Admission is free, and card payment on-site is not possible. Those looking for special costume pieces or wanting to learn about Lower Sorbian and Wendish clothing will experience a small, but especially authentic market date with a regional profile.
Conclusion: A Market for Culture Enthusiasts and Explorers
The 3rd Trachten Market at the Wendish Museum combines regional history, vibrant costume culture, and personal shopping in a special atmosphere. Anyone wishing to experience Sorbian-Wendish tradition up close should not miss this event live in the museum courtyard.
