    About this ebook

    Christkindelsmärik is the Alsatian dialect name of the Christmas market in Strasbourg, held annually on the square in front of the Strasbourg Cathedral since 1570.
    Considered one of the most famous Christmas markets throughout Europe. The city benefits of a 16 million Euros profit from this 38 day long tradition. It is famous for its fragrance of mulled wine (French: vin chaud; German: Glühwein).

    Christkindelsmärik is the Alsatian dialect name of the Christmas market in Strasbourg, held annually on the square in front of the Strasbourg Cathedral since 1570.

    The citys pride is the grand Gothic cathedral.

    With 142 metres (466 feet), Strasbourg cathedral was the world's tallest building from 1647 to 1874 (227 years), when it was surpassed by St. Nikolai's Church, Hamburg. Today it is the sixth-tallest church in the world and the highest extant structure built entirely in the Middle Ages.
