Meeting Marco von Dobschuetz-Dietl at the Nuremberg Christmas Markets

6 minutes | Saturday, 3 December 2022

Ed visited the opening of the Nuremberg Christmas Markets where he met Marco von Dobschuetz-Dietl, Head of the Markets. First mentioned in 1628, its roots probably go back to the time of Luther, when the tradition of giving children presents at Christmas evolved. Ever since then traditional wares such as handmade Christmas decorations and culinary treats have been offered by the 165 wooden stalls, decorated with red and white canvas. Take a stroll through the festively lighted lanes between the stalls and discover the enchantment of the unique atmosphere and the enticing aroma of gingerbread, mulled wine and grilled sausages to name but a few.
