The largest and oldest Christmas market in Mnich was first documented as a Nikolaimarkt Nikolausmarkt in 1310, making it one of the oldest Christmas markets in the German-speaking world. It started as the Welcoming of Christ the Child or Christ Kind in German at the beginning of the four Sundays of Advent that ends with Christmas Day, which is the 25 December.The Christmas market is a fair connected with the seasonal period and infused with our religion, which very much organized everybodys lives back then.In Medieval times, rights to hold fairs were often granted by the feudal lords to convents and bishoprics both as income generation for the religious work and as a city development tool. Many towns trace their prosperity to the market rights. The close association between the local cathedral and the Christmas market is still evident although the taxes now go elsewhere.

Cristina Berna loves photographing and writing. She also creates designs and advice on fashion and styling.

Eric Thomsen has published in science, economics and law, created exhibitions and arranged concerts.
