Dressed in white and golden robes, with long blond hair and adorned with a crown: the Nuremberg Christ Child is the symbolic figure of the Christkindlesmarkt, known throughout the world as one of Germany's oldest Christmas markets. Every year on Friday before the first Sunday of Advent, the people of Nuremberg welcome the "Christkind", who officially opens the festivities by reciting a poem. The Christ Child is a young woman (between 16 and 19 years old), who is elected by a jury for a two year period to be the city's official representative during all festivities.
History of the Nuremberg Christmas Market
Nürnberg (Nuremberg in English) is known for having the most traditional Christmas festival. The Christmas market on the city's Main Market Square next to the famous fountain dates back to the mid-16th century. Its first mention in writing is from 1628. A list from 1737 shows that all Nuremberg craftsmen were represented at the market. The event wasn't held during World War II. In 1948 the Christmas Market was re-established. Friedrich Bröger, dramatic advisor at the Nuremberg theater, wrote a new prologue which has been recited by the Nuremberg Christ Child on opening day ever since.
