Experience Tradition Anew
When the chants o the Dresden
Kreuzchor choir drit out o the
wide-open doors o the Kreuzkirche
church into the Altmarkt, and ll the
alleyways between the opulently de-
corated market stalls, Dresden and its
guests know: the Advent season has
arrived. Every year or more than hal
a millennium, the citys central square
is transormed into a Christmas won-
derland: the Dresden Striezelmarkt.
As Germanys oldest Christmas
market, it has maintained its tra-
ditions to this day. Merchants oer
wooden art rom the Ore Mountains,
gingerbread rom the gingerbread
town o Pulsnitz or Herrnhuter pa-
per stars. There is always the scent
o hot mulled wine in the air over the
many small places, where the origi-
nal Dresden Christstollen tastes best
in the romantic air. Towards evening,
the worlds largest Erzgebirge Christ-
mas pyramid as well as the Christmas
arch, which you can walk on, extend
above o the sea o lights.
The childrens adventure world is the
main daytime attraction. Here, the
prune chimney sweeps cottage and
the bakery are open to the little ones
or kneading and arts and crats. Fur-
thermore, there is the puppet theatre,
merry-go-round and a childrens rail-
way. The daily stage programme pro-
vides Christmas cheer and the events
on the Advent weekends are a special
highlight.

Christmas Markets
Christmas in Dresden is not only the
amous Striezelmarkt.
A whole Christmas mile extends
rom the Christmas market on Pra-
ger Strasse right across to the other
side o the Elbe to the Christmas
market on the Hauptstrasse and to
the Neustadt Advent, where a pre-
Christmas air invites visitors to stroll
along estively illuminated streets o
the baroque neighbourhood around
the Hauptstrasse, Knigstrasse and
the Wilhelminian quarter, Outer Neu-
stadt, where a diverse programme o
Christmas events is oered.
The Advent at the Neumarkt
takes you back to more than 100 years
ago and shows how things looked
here between 1830 and 1920. In this
same spirit, costumed cratspeople,
artists and merchants oer high-
quality traditional and hand-made
products at the historical Christmas
market. There is a lot to see: book
printer, wood carver, letterer, hatter,
bag-maker, goldsmith, chocolatier,
candy maker and much more.
Right next to the Neumarkt, you
can stroll over to the small and cosy
Christmas market by the Frauen-
kirche and be impressed by the sea-
sonal air o the Mnzgasse, which is
decorated with a multitude o lights
and the ultra big Herrnhuter Star.
For the rst time, a Christmas
market for gourmets greets its
guests in the romantic inner cour-
tyard o the Kurlnder Palace. Ten
market stands oer all sorts o treats.
You can still come here when most
o the traditional Christmas markets
have already closed.
There is a whole other atmosphere
at the Elbhangfest Christmas mar-
ket, which is nestled among pic-
turesque hal-timbered houses near
the Blue Wonder bridge. In lovingly
decorated stalls, merchants oer pro-
ducts ranging rom handicrats, pot-
tery, pewter, glass and wickerwork.

Dresden is the world premiere o the
antasy adventure Reckless by Cor-
nelia Funke. The story, set almost ex-
clusively in the 19th century, is about
the brothers Jacob and Will Reckless
and is inspired by the airy tales o
the Brothers Grimm. There will be ee-
rie gingerbread houses, a queen who
is served by dwarves, unicorns, ai-
ries, a speaking ox and much more.
The music or the stage version is
rom the Dresden band Polarkreis 18,
who also attract international attenti-
on with their chart success.

tale Nutcracker and Mouse King,

rit this year.

one night at the Dresden Christmas

vent season with music rom musi-
cals, operettas and lms as well as
