A German Christmas market in Dresden | DW Documentary
Conjuring up the perfect Christmas spirit is hard work for those working at Dresden's Striezelmarkt Christmas market. Then there are all the concerns about security.
Fairy tale houses, bakeries, handicrafts, mulled wine and the Dresden fruitcake now known as Stollen, once called Striezel, from which the market gets its name - with more than 230 booths, it's easy to get into the Yuletide spirit. And that's what visitors do, despite tightened security since the terrorist attack in Berlin two years ago. Concrete bollards, barriers and large water containers are meant to provide security. There are more police patrolling the streets than in the past. It's a new normality, and many people still have to get used to it. A Report by Thomas Gill.

Aw! Missing our Christmas markets here in Dresden this year!
"According to the statutes of the Dresden Stollen Protection Association, we have to put in at least 50 % Butter." It doesn't get any more german, than this sentence :'D

I wish to go to a Christmas market I’ve never been to one before ,the lights the smell the carousels and the yummy pastry’s and chocolate ,the snow and the warm ness of the jackets and coats ,the sight of people meeting family members and friends ,best thing ever
I love the Christmas markets in Germany. Perfection 👏👌✨✨✨
Just love this Christmas celebration... 💕💕
My boyfriend is from Dresden. His family has lived there since before the reunification. His Opa lived there in 1945, when it was bombed for 2 days in February. His family wasn't allowed to go to West Germany until 1990.

Why the Starbucks. There are amazing authentic independently owned cafés with outstanding coffee
The last 2 sentences were very apt. This year we went to Frankfurt for the Christmas markets. Fabulous but sad the rest of the country market people had to suffer another year without an income
Happy new year !!!!
Long live Germany. Dont get fat from that traditional bread. From 🇩🇰

Haha 😂 Thank god that bread only appears around Christmas, so the rest of the year we can all eat healthy again (If we like 😁)
Had the opportunity to walk past this market just last week on the way back to the train station…Sadly it was on a Friday after we visited the old town….They were still preparing the stalls and decoration guessing they were getting ready for the next day (weekend) proper opening….still managed to get some good photos of the lovely decorations. Perhaps one day can visit again this beautiful town and experience the Christmas market on its full glory.
Now that's Holiday!
I'm definitely coming to Dresden this Christmas (2021).
I been there. it was wonderful experience
Great job 👌
Das ist Super!
From my perspective there seems to be hardly any crowd for such a famous market on Christmas... And that would make it more enjoyable for visitors

I think they shot it in the morning and very late in the evening. In the afternoon and evening it's usually much more crowded..

Awesome video! We love visiting German Christmas Markets. We also made a video about it on our channel. We loved all the great food we had there. We try to go once every year.
Wishing you everybody enjoy the Rennaissance spirit for Christmas fans, never let any evil dare to harm you, we are lucky survivors this horrible Covid global apocalypse, looking behind now...gives me creeps
I was JUST THERE. I wonder if at the same time.
Nice Video! I am coming to Dresden one day !!! 😍😉

He has to pay taxes on his income in Germany to the Eritrean government and also pay taxes to the German government. There is only one other country in the world which has the same policy: the United States. All the other countries in the world have rules that you only have to pay taxes in the country where you are working.

It almost like advertisment video for the bakery.
Went to a Xmas Market in Berlin this year, nothing to see there.
11:42 well not so sure about that ahhah
Love stollen
The market is very pretty and everything but I couldn't stop wondering why the bakers aren't wearing any gloves and hairnets.

I believe you should always cook, or bake, with your hands, like we have done for thousands of years. It is how you transfer your love, energy, devotion, and intelligence into the food; all very important ingredients. Gloves block this flow. Obviously it's necessary to always have properly cleaned hands when doing so, which I'm sure they adhere to. Hairnets, esp if you have long hair, i agree with :)

Bread goes through the ovens which kill off everything potentially harmful. And I'd rather eat piece of mud than a piece of silicone. Plus I'm sure they have rules about hair length etc
