The department combines traditional administrative and financial issues, which create a reliable basis for internal processes, with the planning and implementation of events. In particular, the organization and support of markets and public festivals helps to actively shape public life and keep the city vibrant. As the organizer of the Christmas Market, the Rhine Spring and St. John's Night (here together with the Main Office), the Fairs and Markets team organizes and is responsible for the city's well-known public festivals.
