Shopping for unique Christmas decorations, buying handmade gifts for friends and family, discovering little treats and goodies for yourself that are anything but ordinary, meeting acquaintances and enjoying street food together, but also pausing for a moment and having pleasant conversations: all this is made possible by the November market "Tasteful – Design Meets Pleasure." It takes place once a year in the former coal mine washhouse of the Carolus Magnus colliery in Übach-Palenberg. After a forced break in 2020 due to the pandemic, the fifth edition was held on November 6th and 7th – with pandemic-related special features: Tickets for the event could only be purchased online, there was no box office on site, a one-way system was in place, the distances between the individual stalls had to be greater than usual, and the supporting program with music and children's entertainment had to be cancelled. Despite the challenges, nearly 3,600 paying visitors attended the event, which boasted 58 exhibitors indoors and five food trucks outdoors. These offered everything from burgers and pasta to fries, currywurst, and kibbeling (battered and fried fish), as well as tarte flambée, ice cream, coffee, mulled wine, and hot cocktails – something to satisfy every hungry stomach. Inside, visitors found a wide variety of home decor, bags and leather goods, jewelry, hobby and craft supplies, baby clothes, soaps, stationery, fashion and accessories, spirits and liqueurs, as well as goat cheese, bread, and spice blends. Despite the changes to the event's format, the exhibitors, among others, offered praise. "I've been involved from the very beginning and thought it was the most enjoyable market ever. Despite the particular challenges posed by the pandemic, the organization and execution were very successful," commented one of the exhibitors. Event manager Jörg Hillemacher also expressed his satisfaction. "The entry time slots, which we had already used at other events, have proven successful. This prevented peak times and overcrowding, and instead allowed for a continuous flow of visitors, which made the whole market atmosphere much more relaxed."
