The trader enters into this contract acknowledging the General Terms and Conditions attached to this contract as an annex.

The Christmas market in the courtyard in front of the facade of the baroque Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg is characterized by the elegant, sophisticated ambiance of the castle surroundings and the Linden avenues illuminated with fairy lights on both sides of the square. The huts and pagodas are set up in a kind of "circular route," so that visitors strolling through the market pass by all the huts and pagodas equally.

However, if you explicitly wish to be positioned in one of the most prominent locations in the "front row," please book a "Premium" booth space. These are marked in orange and red-pink on the adjacent layout plan.

A technical drawing of a single cabin ("Einzelhütte") features various views: a front view, side view, back view, and floor plan. Dimensions for height, width, and door placement are included, along with details for a counter height and openings for utilities.
