Rothenburg ob der Tauber: Romantik erleben.
Christmas Market
November 30th – December 23rd 2018
The “Reiterlesmarkt” of Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Once a year the medieval town of Rothenburg transforms itself into a fairytale winter wonderland. Ever since the 15th century the festive time prior to Christmas (Advent) has been accompanied by a delightful Christmas market. Looking back on over 500 years of tradition little has changed over the years and the historical customs have been closely followed.Many cultural events take place throughout the duration of the Christ-mas market. The height of the event however is the arrival of the “Ro-thenburger Reiterle” (Rothenburg Horseman) which also gave the market its name.The “Reiterle’s” (horseman’s) historical origin however stems from dark times long past. Our ancestors were under the believe that he was a descendant of another world who during the winter months glided through the skies with the souls of people past.Throughout the centuries however the horseman’s image changed from a ferocious character people feared and dreaded to a warmly welcomed
ambassador of the Christmas season who is now loved by young and old alike.
Holding true to traditions the narrow winding streets and picturesque squares around the town hall and its archways are lined with wooden booths, appropriately decorated for the Christmas season.
Everything your heart desires can be found at this charming market, may it be the traditional Christ-mas cookies and pastries or the “Weißer Glühwein” (white mulled
wine, indicative to the area). Gad-gets and treasures as well as lovin-
gly crafted Christmas decoration can be found in a variety of booths and are sure to serve as a token of appreciation for loved ones at home as well as a welcomed reminder of your time spent in Rothenburg.The “Reiterlesmarkt” has grown over centuries and has become a true symbol of a romantic and idyllic Rothenburg Christmas which is also enhanced by the festively decorated city that surrounds it.
Next year’s dates: Christmas Market 2019: November 29th – December 23rd
