Christmas Markets: Their History and Traditions – hybrid

December 1, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

  • « Reunited and it feels so good – Virtual
  • Using Family Tree Maker Software – In person »

Presenter: Claire Gebben

Christmas markets date back to medieval times, when German territories covered a wide swath of the continent. Some of Germany’s existing Christmas markets trace their origins as far back as the 15th and 16th centuries. Dresden’s market first opened for one day on Christmas Eve in 1434. Meanwhile, the oldest evidence of Nuremberg’s Christmas market dates it to 1628, though some suspect it stretches back at least to 1530. In Germany, meanwhile, the number of Christmas markets has also been on the rise for the last 50 years—tripling from about 950 markets in the 1970s to about 3,000 in 2019.
