4 December 2026: Visit the Weihnachts-Mittelaltermarkt at Schloß Strünkede with RUB Medieval English!

Mr Henk will accompany a group of students for an outing to the Herne Medieval Christmas Market at Schloß Strünkede.
You are warmly invited to dress up in any 'garb' (costume); Mr Henk will be dressed from head to toe as a late 10th century Anglo-Saxon nobleman, so you'll have company. 

• When? Friday, December 4, 18:30 - until. Meet Mr Henk at the station a little before 18:30. He will be wearing a black tunic with red/gold trim and a red cloak.
• Where? Meet Mr Henk at the Schloß Strünkede U-bahn station before 18:30. You can take the U35 to get there.   
• How Much? Usually there is a small entry price of around 5 Euro per person; it may be slightly higher this year. Bring cash, as you may not be able to pay with a card. You should also bring some cash for buying drinks, food, and items, since many merchants will not have a card machine. 
• Who? Feel free to bring along as many friends as you like. The invitation is open to all, including faculty, students, and friends of students. Students and faculty from other departments are welcome, as well! 
• Registration? You do not need to sign up. Just show up a little before 18:30 at the station and look for Mr Henk.  At 18:30 we will all proceed to the entrance as a group.
