History:


A highlight in the historical development of the Christmas market was the year 1498. That Christmas, the wedding of Landgrave Wilhelm of Hesse and the daughter of the Elector of the Palatinate was celebrated. The Chronicle reports that the Elector, along with his entourage and guests, rode into Frankfurt am Main with 1,000 horses.


The "Christkindchesmarkt" of that time was still missing the key symbol of today's Christmas market, the Christmas tree. It wasn't until the beginning of the 19th century that the fir tree became a popular Christmas decoration. In Frankfurt am Main, the Sachsenhausen merchants had the privilege of offering the best trees for sale in the Römerhalle before Christmas. Over time, this sale shifted to the area in front of the Römer.
