Early start to Christmas Wonderland: Essener Markt opens on Saturday!

Essen, Deutschland - The anticipation for the festive season begins now! In the Essen district of Steele, one of the first Christmas markets in Germany opens its doors on Saturday. This market is not only early, but remains open until January 5 - an exceptionally long time that the organizers around Léon Finger can expect with great confidence. Visitors attract over 70 stands, and the hopes for an impressive six -digit number of visitors are high!

tradition meets modern anticipation

While most Christmas markets only open their goals after the Dead Sunday, which falls on November 24 this year, some cities are already in a Christmas mood. Markets with more neutral names such as "Winter Market" are popular in the run -up to Christmas. There is already the "Winterdorf" in Bayreuth in October, and Hamburg and Berlin are not lacking in a festive atmosphere - with events such as the "Wandsbek Winterzauber" and the "Winterwelt" at Potsdamer Platz, which also start in November.

In Frankfurt am Main, the Christmas mood is also sparked early. The large Christmas tree will be set up on the Römerberg on Monday morning, and the secret of his name is revealed. This year the professional fire brigade in Frankfurt has the honor of being the Baumfatin, and the employees were able to vote on the name of the tree. In recent years, the trees have bore the names "Sonny", "Manni" and "Gretel". However, the large Frankfurt Christmas market only opens its goals on November 25th.
