Dresden Striezelmarkt

The Dresden Striezelmarkt is a landmark of the Saxon capital and has been considered Germany's oldest Christmas market since its foundation in 1434. For four weeks, the Baroque heart of the city becomes a stage for living history and festive splendour.

 

Tradition and Craftsmanship in the Heart of Saxony

The Striezelmarkt attracts millions of visitors from all over the world every year and is famous for its deeply rooted Saxon traditions. The delicate wood carvings from the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) are a particular highlight. From artistic Christmas pyramids to iconic nutcrackers – the craftsmanship makes the market an authentic experience that carries Saxony's history into the present.
