Christkindlesmarkt, Nuremberg
Christkindlesmarkt is a Christmas market that is held annually in Nuremberg, Germany.〔(Stadt Nürnberg. (Unknown last update.). ''Nuremberg Christman Market''. Retrieved November 28, 2014 )〕 It takes place during Advent in the Hauptmarkt, the central square in Nuremberg’s old town, and in adjoining squares and streets. With about two million visitors a year the Nürnberger Christkindlesmarkt is one of the largest Christmas markets in Germany and one of the most famous in the world. Every year the Christmas market begins on the Friday preceding the first Sunday in Advent and ends on December 24, unless that day is a Sunday.
==History==
Despite intense investigations carried out by several historians and people interested in local history, the origins of the Nürnberger Christkindlesmarkt are unknown. The oldest piece of evidence relating to it is a box made of coniferous wood. On the bottom can be found the following inscription: “Regina Susanna Harßdörfferin from the virgin Susanna Eleonora Erbsin (or Elbsin) sent to the ''Kindles-Marck'' in 1628. The box is currently in the possession of the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg.
In official documents, the words ''Kindleinbescheren'' (handing out presents to children) or ''Weihnachtszeit'' (Christmas time) are used from 1610 onwards. It is not clear, however, whether these words have anything to do with the Christkindlesmarkt. Historians assume that the market has its origins in traditional sales at the weekly market between 1610 and 1639 and that it gradually evolved into an independent market. Originally, the market opened on Thomas’ Day, December 4. Due to the large number of visitors, opening day was rescheduled to the Friday before the start of Advent in 1973 and has remained so ever since. There were no markets between 1939 and 1948.
