This is a picture of one Germany’s oldest Christmas markets: Dresden! It’s called “Striezelmarkt” and was first mentioned in 1434 (!!). Nowadays, the Striezel is more commenly known as “Stollen”, which is a famous German fruity christmas cake.
On the picture you can also see the famous wooden Christmas pyramid. Small versions can be found in many people’s homes during this time of the year. The city of Dresden is close to an area called “Erzgebirge” where these type of Christmas pyramids are made.
