Germany: Striezelmarkt in Dresden

Today I got four postcards one from Germany, two from Vietnam and one from Malaysia.

The card from Germany shows the Striezelmarkt in Dresden. The Striezelmarkt in Dresden was first held in 1434 and is thus one of the oldest Christmas Markets in Germany. The name Striezelmarkt comes from the word Stollen. On the Striezelmarkt are the World's largest Christmas pyramid from the Ore Mountains and the largest walkable candle arch.


Stamp:
Glücksburg Castle (from set of two) (issued 02-01-2013)
with a special postmark of this year's Striezelmarkt


Thank You very much Amelie!
