The Nuremberg Christmas Market

November 09, 2017

The Nuremberg Christmas Market is synonymous with Children's Choirs, Brass Ensembles, Gingerbread, and Mulled Wine. More than that, the Nuremberg Christmas Market is synonymous with Christmas.

On Nuremberg's main market square opposite the Church of Our Lady sits the most famous Christmas Market in Germany, with its iconic, golden-haired Christmas Angel and charming Zwetchgenmannle ("Plum People")- unique to Bavaria and made out of fruits, nuts, and figs, and dressed in paper and cloth. By the time Christmas Eve rolls around, this "Little Town from Wood and Cloth" will have welcomed two million folks from around the globe, delighting them with its authentic ornaments, Christmas candles, cookies, tasty fruit loaves, tangy gingerbread, handmade toys and gluhwein- including you!
