Christmas Market at the Marienplatz
Christmas Market at the Marienplatz
The biggest and oldest Christmas Market in Munich was mentioned in 1310 as Nikolaimarkt (Nicholas´s market) for the first time in a document and belongs therefore to the oldest Christmas fairs in the German language area. In 1806 it was renamed from Nikolaimarkt to Christian´s market. After repeated location changes since 1972 the market has found his regular berth in Marienplatz. In the course of the last years the event surface has considerably been expanded (e.g., cattle market).
