Special souvenirs and a sign of tradition
As every year, there will be a new collector’s mug, which is particularly lovingly designed. This year’s mug features a motif of 10-year-old Felicitas, whose picture captures the essence of Advent in Dessau – a souvenir that you should definitely save.
A real Christmas tree and shining eyes
After eleven years, a real Christmas tree is returning to the market square. The fir tree is decorated with special light elements and gives the market square a very special atmosphere. The festively decorated tree forms the centerpiece of the market and is a symbol of the return to traditional values and customs.
A special tribute to the GDR tradition
A special highlight this year is the replica of the legendary GDR Christmas pyramid, which has long since disappeared. At an impressive ten meters high, the pyramid sits enthroned on the market on St. Nicholas Day and is home to cult figures such as Pitti Platsch. The pyramid combines the Christmas joys of times gone by with the present day and is a real eye-catcher that not only exudes nostalgia but also Christmas cheer.
