Brief History of Christmas markets

Christmas market or Weihnachtsmarkt, is a street market associated with the celebration of Christmas during the four weeks of Advent, and for this reason, Christmas markets start by the end of November and finish right after Christmas.

These markets originated in Germany, but are now held in many other countries. Christmas markets date back to the late middle ages in German-speaking part of Europe. What was first called winter markets eventually became known as Christmas Markets—the earliest of which are claimed to be in Germany: Munich in around 1310, Bautzen in 1384, and Frankfurt in 1393 but Dresden's Striezelmarkt was first held in 1434 and is considered the first true Christmas market.

There are over 80 Christmas markets in various parts of Berlin, where craftspeople demonstrate their skills and sell their wares along with many other Christmas gifts and fairground attractions.
