At the Collectible Cup Story Café on Tuesday, January 19, 2027, at 3 p.m., the topic will be "Safety in Everyday Life." Unfortunately, it still happens far too often that seniors, as well as younger people, become victims of scams over the phone or at their doorstep. The grandson trick and the legend of the false police officer are still successful, but they have long been replaced by an even more insidious scheme, the shock call with a traffic accident legend. Here, the victims are literally placed in a state of shock and are specifically robbed of their belongings. The financial damage is often very high, but the psychological consequences should also not be underestimated. This is how everyone can protect themselves from fraud Therefore, it is important for the police in Rhineland-Palatinate to inform as many people as possible about these and other scams, to explain how and why they work, and how simple means can help protect against them, as well as who to turn to if one has become a victim of a crime. The goal is to raise awareness of the dangers and convey suitable behaviors that help prevent becoming a victim of such fraud – because ANYONE can become a victim. Guests can expect an informative and interesting afternoon with coffee and cake. Please do not forget to bring the collectible cup set. The entry fee is 10 euros (including coffee & cake). Tickets can be purchased at the Cultural Center in Oberwesel (Rathausstr. 23) as well as online and at all Ticket Regional sales points, such as the Tourist Info Oberwesel.

At the first Advent weekend, the historic Christmas market in Oberwesel once again invites visitors to browse and enjoy. The Christmas market takes place every year on the 1st Advent weekend in the historic marketplace and in Rathausstraße. The city mayor is already looking forward to his appointment with the children from the Oberwesel kindergarten to decorate the Christmas tree. Christmas-wrapped "gifts" will find their place adorning the large Christmas tree in front of the town hall. The children will be rewarded for their packing efforts with sweets or chocolate from the city mayor himself. Selected vendors will offer high-quality handicrafts, handcrafted items, homemade jewelry, and much more on both days. A children's carousel, horse-drawn carriage, and a children’s program are intended to delight the little visitors. Admission is free.

On the eve of St. Nicholas' patronal feast, the Kolping family organises the St. Nicholas procession. This is only held in very few places. St. Nicholas, the patron saint of boatmen, is driven through our town on a ship prepared by some former members of the boatmen's association. The procession starts at 6 pm at the Wendehammer and runs along Koblenzer Straße, Rathausstraße and Liebfrauenstraße to the Liebfrauenkirche, where St. Nicholas will speak to the children. After the St. Nicholas procession, bread rolls will be distributed to the children.
