The Christkindlesmarkt has been held on the main market square in Nuremberg for almost 400 years. With its stands made of cloth and wood, it attracts over two million visitors from all over the world. The orange-coloured area in the centre of the image shows the main area of the Christkindlesmarkt on the Hauptmarkt. Just below it to the left on the Pegnitz river, you find the Christmas punchbowl village. Both can be seen in the centre of the image. And in 2023, the Nuremberg Winter Village was set up on Jakobsplatz in the lower left-hand area of the Old Town.
This image is a combination of an image acquired by the TanDEM-X satellite on 13 November 2023 and one acquired by the TerraSAR-X satellite on 5 December 2023 to make the changes visible.
