Germany’s Christmas markets date back to medieval times, the oldest evidence of Nürnberg’s Christmas market is from 1628, though some sources say it goes back to 1530. The Christkindl is the equivalent of Santa Claus in Germany and is considered a gift giver. One of Germany’s long lasting Christmas traditions – Nürnberg’s Christkindlesmarkt draws thousands of visitors annually. With origins tracing back more than 500 years, this market is highly anticipated and is among the largest in Germany. One of the most sought-after events at this Christkindlesmarkt is the appearance of the Nürnberg Christkindl. Clad in a golden dress and adorning a glimmering crown and flowing blonde hair, the Christkindl visits this Christmas market to spread cheer and holiday wishes.
