Downtown Advent Calendar
From December 1 to 24, there is a very special Advent calendar to discover in downtown Gütersloh!
Once again this year, we at Gütersloh Marketing GmbH would like to make you happy at Christmas time. With the city center Advent calendar, we want to sweeten the waiting time for Christmas for all Gütersloh residents with the support of many local players.
We transform the Gütersloh city center into a living Advent calendar.
As with the doors of a classic Advent calendar, posters or illuminated numbers in the shop window show you on which day a special offer awaits you in the respective store. As you stroll through the city center, you can discover where you will find an Advent calendar promotion on which day right from the start of the Advent season. Depending on the restaurant, service provider and retailer, you can look forward to a small gift, discounts or other surprises.

The forgetful Santa Claus 🎅
Santa Claus was out and about in our beautiful Gütersloh city center and left lots of presents at various stores. But he lost the note on which he had written down where he had left everything! Luckily, he has remembered a few funny clues. Help him find the presents in the right stores.
Can you name all five stores?
