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 Christmas market. The height of the event however is the arrival
of the “Rothenburger 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 narrowly 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 Christmas cookies and
pastries or the “Weißer Glühwein” (white mulled wine,
indicative to the area). Gadgets and treasures as well as
lovingly 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.
