Dresdner Striezelmarkt

In the organizer's words:

The people of Dresden love their Striezelmarkt, which has retained its unique appearance since 1434 despite several changes. Particularly striking is the world's largest step pyramid from the Ore Mountains, which was entered into the Guinness Book of Records in 1999 with its impressive 14.62 meters. In recent years, more than 2.5 million people have visited the romantic market square on Dresden's Altmarkt. Today, guests can expect a varied program that combines culinary delights with traditional offerings. Folk art from the Ore Mountains is not to be missed: In addition to pyramids, candle arches, smokers and other artistic little things are lovingly handcrafted here. The stalls selling blue prints and pottery from Lusatia, gingerbread from the gingerbread town of Pulsnitz and Herrnhut stars are also particularly popular.

A varied accompanying program on the Striezelmarkt stage and other cultural highlights around the market ensure an all-round festive Christmas atmosphere.
