3 Ihr Herrn und Frau'n, die Ihr einst Kinder wart, Ihr Kleinen, am Beginn der Lebensfahrt, Ein jeder, der sich heute freut und morgen wieder plagt: Hört alle zu, was Euch das Christkind sagt! In jedem Jahr, vier Wochen vor der Zeit, Da man den Christbaum schmückt und sich aufs Feiern freut, Ersteht auf diesem Platz, der Ahn hat´s schon gekannt, Was Ihr hier seht, Christkindlesmarkt genannt. Dies Städtlein in der Stadt, aus Holz und Tuch gemacht, So flüchtig, wie es scheint, in seiner kurzen Pracht, Ist doch von Ewigkeit. Mein Markt bleibt immer jung, Solang es Nürnberg gibt und die Erinnerung. Denn alt und jung zugleich ist Nürnbergs Angesicht, Das viele Züge trägt. Ihr zählt sie alle nicht! Da ist der edle Platz. Doch ihm sind zugesellt Hochhäuser dieses Tags, Fabriken dieser Welt. Die neue Stadt im Grün. Und doch bleibt´s alle Zeit, Ihr Herrn und Frau´n: das Nürnberg, das Ihr seid. Am Saum des Jahres steht nun bald der Tag, An dem man selbst sich wünschen und andern schenken mag. Doch leuchtet der Markt im Licht weit und breit, Schmuck, Kugeln und selige Weihnachtszeit, Dann vergesst nicht, Ihr Herrn und Frau´n und bedenkt, Wer alles schon hat, der braucht nichts geschenkt. Die Kinder der Welt und die armen Leut, Die wissen am besten, was Schenken bedeut´t. Ihr Herrn und Frau´n, die Ihr einst Kinder wart, Seid es heut´ wieder, freut Euch in ihrer Art. Das Christkind lädt zu seinem Markte ein, Und wer da kommt, der soll willkommen sein. You men- and womenfolk who once were children, too, You little ones who just begin the journey of your lives Each of you who rests today, and who will work again tomorrow: All listen, hear what Christ child has to say! In every year, four weeks before the time When Christmas trees we decorate, and everyone awaits the feast, Here on this square, just as of yore, this market does appear Which up and down the country they call Christmas Mart. This little town is built from wood and canvas Its splendour's short, will soon be gone, But yet it is eternal. My market is forever young, As long as Nuremberg does exist, as long as you remember it. For young and old the sight of this Old Town of Nuremberg Has many faces and their number can't be counted. Look at this square. Today in its surroundings High buildings rise, and factories of modern times, And many suburbs grow, yet it remains forever, Ye men- and womenfolk: the Nuremberg of its people. The last month of the year has come and thus the day When wishes are fulfilled and presents given The market's lights shine brightly With baubles, glitter and with Christmas promise. But don't forget, ye men and womenfolk one thing: Those who have ev'rything don't need your presents. It's children of this world and poorer folk Who'll tell you what it means to give a present. Ye men- and womenfolk who once were children, too Be child again today and do rejoice When Christ child now invites you all to see this market. Whoever comes to visit shall be welcome . Since 1948 Nürnberg has had a Christian child (Christ kind). The Christian child was portrayed by actresses from annually. Since 1969 the citizens of Nürnberg select a Christian child every two years. The Christian child is from Nürnberg, she must be between the ages of 16 and 19 and 1.60 meters tall, no criminal record. The Christian child must know the pro log for inauguration of Nürnberg’s market by heart.

5 The majority of the huts are designed and setup by the towns running the markets
The setup of the market starts two weeks prior to the opening. The construction of the infrastructure: the huts, electricity and waterlines take one week. The second week is needed for decorations and furnishing the huts.

9 Nürnberger Lebkuchen gibt seit 1395

Lebkuchen bakers were recorded as early as 1296 in Ulm, and 1395 in Nürnberg.

14 In the latest years in addition to the traditional markets in the city there have been sectional/city express markets as well as markets within the rural areas that were revived or brought to life. On the one hand these markets increase the offer of the municipality for tourists and natives alike, on the other hand they can create a competitive situation. Both the traditional markets and between these new markets an inflation at markets with the designation “Weihnachtsmarkt” or “Christkindlmarkt” can cause fear of loss in the quality. In addition to the traditional markets in the city there have been sectional/city express markets as well as markets within the rural areas that were revived or brought to life.
