Dresden Christmas Market

A German Christmas market in Dresden | DW Documentary

Conjuring up the perfect Christmas spirit is hard work for those working at Dresden's Striezelmarkt Christmas market. Then there are all the concerns about security.

Fairy tale houses, bakeries, handicrafts, mulled wine and the Dresden fruitcake now known as Stollen, once called Striezel, from which the market gets its name - with more than 230 booths, it's easy to get into the Yuletide spirit. And that's what visitors do, despite tightened security since the terrorist attack in Berlin two years ago. Concrete bollards, barriers and large water containers are meant to provide security. There are more police patrolling the streets than in the past. It's a new normality, and many people still have to get used to it. A Report by Thomas Gill.

Europe’s OLDEST Christmas Market | Dresden Christmas Market in Germany

Dresden Christmas Market (or Dresden Striezelmarkt as it’s known in Deutsch) is not only the oldest Christmas market in Germany, but also the oldest in Europe! It started way back in 1434 when it was held for just one day. In 2018, its 584th year, it’s held for almost a month from 28th November to 24th December. It’s filled with stalls selling gorgeous decorations, mulled wine and delicious bratwurst and currywurst. We show you what we eat, what we buy and how much it all costs.

Places to see in ( Dresden - Germany ) Dresden Christmas Market

Dresden has the largest number of Christmas markets in the eastern part of the country and is one of the cities that are able to lay claim to the title of being the oldest seasonal event in Germany.
Certainly it is one of the most traditional, with many of the customs surrounding the main city market stemming from local industries like mining, woodworking and pottery.

The Striezelmarkt originally started back in the 15th century. The word 'Striezel' actually refers to a cake made at this time of year called a 'Stollen', which is also found in other parts of Germany, but in this area is reputed to represent the entrance to the mines in the nearby Erzgebirge range.

Another tradition stemming from the mining history is the Christmas arch - originally a metal but now usually a wooden arch which displays candles and figures. According to local folklore, this stems from the candles that the miners would hang from the entrance to the mine on the last working day before Xmas.

( Dresden - Germany ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Dresden . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Dresden - Germany

DRESDEN, WALKING AROUND CHRISTMAS DRESDEN, 2019

DRESDEN, WALKING AROUND CHRISTMAS DRESDEN, 2019, The Striezelmarkt in Dresden is considered the first genuine Christmas market in the world. Founded as a one-day market in 1434, it celebrated its 584th anniversary in 2018. Its 240 stands attract about 3 million visitors from all over the world. The annual market lasts throughout the Advent season until Christmas Eve., This market event was first mentioned in 1434, under Friedrich II, Elector of Saxony, when it was held the Monday before Christmas on the Altmarkt square. Originally, it was a one-day market to provide the citizens of Dresden with the meat for the Christmas meal after the pre-Christmas period of fasting.
Over the centuries the Striezelmarkt has developed into a huge event with 240 stands, taking up a large part of Dresden city centre and lasting throughout the Advent period until Christmas Eve. Today the Striezelmarkt attracts 3 million visitors a year from all over the world.
The word Striezelmarkt comes from Strüzel or Stroczel, which was the name of a type of cake sold at the market, now famous as Stollen or Christstollen. Stollen is a light airy fruitcake which is quite low in sugar, today available in many parts of the world. The true Dresden Stollen, however, is produced in the city and distinguished by a special seal depicting the city's famous king, August the Strong. The shape of the cake is meant to be reminiscent of the entrance to a mine tunnel reflecting the area's silver and tin mining history., Today the most famous features of Dresden Striezelmarkt are the world's largest usable Christmas arch with a breadth of 13.5 metres and a height of more than 5 metres and the 14-metre high Erzgebirge Christmas pyramid. Situated on the Dresden Striezelmarkt is a children’s adventure world. Here, the prune chimney sweep’s cottage and the bakery are open for kneading and arts and crafts. Furthermore, there is the puppet theatre, merry-go-round and a children’s railway. On the Dresden Striezelmarkt a daily stage programme takes place. On the Advent weekends are special events like Dresden Stollen Festival and Pyramid and Christmas Arch Festival.
At the centre of the Striezelmarkt stands a 20 metres high spruce, brought from the nearby Tharandt woods and decorated with lights. At the back of the market square there is a painted wooden fairy-tale castle which is also a giant Advent calendar. A door is opened every day by children's entertainers, with a puppet show, and on Fridays there is a visit by Father Christmas himself.

CHRISTMAS MARKET IN DRESDEN, STRIEZELMARKT DRESDEN, 2019

A door is opened every day by children's entertainers, with a puppet show, and on Fridays there is a visit by Father Christmas himself.
Many of the stands at the Striezelmarkt sell wooden ornaments of a huge variety of shapes and sizes. This comes from the area's mining history. Dresden is the largest city near the Erzgebirge, or Ore Mountains, where silver and tin were discovered in around 1168. The discovery brought many miners to the area, who then lost their jobs as the German Peasants' War and competition from abroad took their toll. Needing a new way of earning money, the miners took up woodcarving, incorporating mining symbols and religious elements into their designs. These symbols can still be found in the Christmas ornaments sold at the Striezelmarkt.
In many parts of Germany, the candle pyramid is brought out every year to light up the room at Christmas. Two to five round wooden tiers, gradually smaller towards the top, are built onto a central rod which rotates, driven by the heat of candles rising up into a rotor at the top. On each tier there are figures connected with Christmas. The whole ornament is usually about 50 cm high, but the tallest pyramid in the world takes pride of place at the Striezelmarkt, towering a full 14 m in the air. Originally, the pyramid was a much simpler affair, simply a frame to hang sprigs of fir upon; the modern-day pyramid did not evolve until the early 19th century.
Literally, the word Schwibbogen means an arch hanging above you, between two walls. This candle-holder is indeed arch-shaped, representing the arched entrance to a mine hung with guiding lights; another connection to the area's mining past. Today the candles are often lit with electricity, and the scenes cut out of the wooden centre of the arch are not only on mining themes. At night during Advent, nearly every single window in Dresden is lit with these ornaments, traditionally bought at the Striezelmarkt.
Another ornament always present at Christmas-time in Germany, the smoking man is hollowed out with a hole leading to his mouth, hung with a pipe. An incense candle is placed inside him so that he appears to smoke as it burns. There is a wide variety of variations on the smoking man, including old ladies in rocking chairs, Father Christmases, and figures representing nearly every occupation. Smoking men first appeared on the Striezelmarkt in the 19th century.

Christmas Market Dresden, Germany from Travel with Iva Jasperson

Christmas Market Dresden, Germany from Travel with Iva Jasperson

Hi guys.....
Christmas markets are beautiful anywhere you go, but Germany seems to add a little bit more sparkle to it. I don't know if they have more food, more space or more lights, but I always feel Christmas markets in Germany give me the Christmas goosebumps. They have delicious foods, many handmade things to buy and of course the beer. It's a beautiful place to visit with your family, everyone will find something to like. My mom always liked all the handmade wood carved light stands you light up at the windows. My dad loved the beer, of course, definitely not the crowd of people everywhere and an empty wallet after we were done shopping. And me.....I was always excited to get the thin pancake with Nutella and banana inside, I just couldn't get enough of that. So, if you want to know how Christmas goosebumps feel like, visit any of the bigger Christmas markets.

LEADIN
The traditional Dresden Striezelmarkt goes back more than five centuries and is the oldest German Christmas market.
Today old crafts are still celebrated and draw thousands of Christmas shoppers and tourists.
STORYLINE
The Striezelmarkt dates back to a royal decree in 1434.
Towards the end of the Middle Ages, the so-called Striezel cake lent its name to the whole market, and lives on today in the form of genuine Dresden Christstollen.
The market stalls also offer also products of Saxon crafts and folk art .
Local Historian, Heidemarie Wozel, says many of the market wares are linked to the crafts from the villages of the Erzgebirge mountains.
And she says they are a way of upholding traditional Christmas customs.
Among the items for sale are Indigo-printed textiles and pottery from Lusatia, plus wickerwork and Plauen lace.
Similarly sought-after are the paper Advent stars from Herrnhut in Lusatia (prices range from 12 Euros to 49 Euros/$15 USD - $63 USD ) . These decorate countless homes, churches and streets during the Christmas period, providing cosy illumination and symbolising the Star of Bethlehem.
Blown-glass tree decorations from the Thuringian glass-blower town of Lauscha and a multitude of Saxon culinary specialities round off the offerings.
