While some German christmas markets have been called off last-minute due to the the spiralling Covid-19 infection rate, Frankfurt’s traditional christmas market was opened Nov.22, 2021. Hot alcoholic beverages such as mulled wine and hot apple wine (a Frankfurt specialty), baked marzipan mixes like Brenten and Bethmännchen and Quetschemännchen (figures made out of prunes and nuts) are sold among lots of other things. The event’s history has been traced back to the 14th century.

Frankfurt’s christmas market is open again and running until Dec.22. It is one of the largest Christmas markets in all of Germany and considered one of the most beautiful. It draws some 3 million visitors every year. Especially on weekends I’d rather avoid it.

Two christmas tree balls shaped like Leica and Rollei cameras are on display at the Christmasworld trade fair that opened in Frankfurt, Jan.24. They are mouth-blown from glass and hand-painted by the people at a small manufacturer in Neustadt in northern Bavaria.

Frankfurt’s traditional Christmas market opened this week. It was first mentioned in 1393 and is considered one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Germany. It runs until December 22, 2013. (This photo was actually taken two years ago, but it basically looks the same every year.)
