    • Nuremberg's Christkindlesmarkt (Christ Child Market) is one of the oldest and most famous Christmas markets. The first official record of this market dates back to 1628. Already in 1737 nearly all Nuremberg's craftsmen were represented in this market. At the end of the 20th century, there were 190 stalls in Nuremberg's Christ Child Market.

    What can you buy and eat in a Christmas market?

    * One thrid of the stalls offer food specialities from Nuremberg such as Rostbratwuerste (fried sausages), Lebkuchen (spicy gingerbread), Gluehwein (mulled wine) and Fruechtebrot (rich fruit loaf).
    * The larger part of the stalls offer toys, decorations, candles, arts and crafts.

     You will be pleased to know that the restaurant was purchased by the same person that owns Bratwursthaeusle that you liked. It is now a much more reasonable restaurant.
