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
😂
what a wonderful video. I'm on a pan-European trip now and will definitely plan to be there next year.
Oh no, I'm so sorry 😦 I hope maybe next year we can have Christmas markets again and you can come back 🙏
2 years without in Dresden now. Although Frankfurt had them this year
Been to Dresden, been to the square, and been to that Starbucks at 5:49! Love Dresden from China!
Love from Germany 🥰
Why the Starbucks. There are amazing authentic independently owned cafés with outstanding coffee
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... 💕💕
I live in Dresden! ❤️ Its a yearly Tradition 🙈 its funny when the you hear it translated in english
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
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.
glad to live in germany
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.
Omg how spectacular
Happy new year !!!!
I'm definitely coming to Dresden this Christmas (2021).
Das ist Super!
Great job 👌
I been there. it was wonderful experience
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 😁)
Now that's Holiday!
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
Nice Video! I am coming to Dresden one day !!! 😍😉
Thanks for watching! Hope you visit. :-)
me too it is on my bucket list
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..
6:22, 6:48
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.
I spent my Christmas at work like those police officers
What work? :)
I was JUST THERE. I wonder if at the same time.
What I miss the most about Germany is the Advent Season till Christmas. Their January to April are the worst
Where is the ice skating rink? I hope it has one.
I love the Christmas Market s in France , Germany , Poland , Czechia , Norway , Sweden Ect.
You have been to a lot of Christmas markets all around Europe then? ☺️🎄💖
Amazing the last comment was she wouldn't know what to do without the market and in 2020 we had zero. Chilling
Love stollen
🎄😍🎄😍🎄😍
....and tourist love it.... WE LOVE IT TOO AND THAT IS THE REASON WE HAVE IT FOR AGES...
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
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 :)
Do you bake with gloves on at home? Like the guy above me said, clean hands, problem solved
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
I was national auditor for the biggest bread company of the world and the factories have better sanitation that this little bakery. All workers wear hairnets.
Notice they all have short hair though!
GOD BLESS GERMANY IN THIS TERIBBLE TIME
That apprentice from Eritrea is a fiiiiiiiine looking man.
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.
Indeed, very attractive ✨
@@voyance4elle you just comment on every comment? Haha
This video is about a bakery and the police....it is not about the christmas market. No wonder I never watch TV anymore.
Oh my goodness.... Look so yummy
Shouldn't they be wearing gloves?
No in entire Germany celebrate this way. In Berlin for instance don't. Etc.
How is it in Berlin? I am from Cologne and the Eifel and I only know it like this 💖 I have never been in Berlin during Christmas season... 🎄✨
@@voyance4elle Berlin celebrates it with Christmas markets too etc. I don't know what the other person is talking about lol
@@v.6433 he's probably from Neukölln or something ^^
Recipe for weight gain lol yaa but it's very very good!
All the sinful treats which are permitted for Xmas.
When I see this I feel sad for you ... Even you enjoy there are all way fear for attack... There is no peace of mind... There should be a strong low says if some people make problems send them back their countries not look for human right ... Becoz you rejected the human right of your on people
Ajeed Antoni Well said
