Welcome to the Stollen Capital
Few pastries can look back on such a long tradition as the Dresden Christstollen. Today it is much more than just a delicious sweet. It is a landmark of its homeland and a piece of the soul of Dresden's bakeries and confectioners. Just in time for Christmas, it is on everyone's lips - not only in Dresden and Saxony: in over 190 countries around the world, people covet the Stollen from the Saxon capital.
Dresdner Christstollen is an experience in itself. If you want to experience the Christmas pastry with all your senses, explore its roots and understand its fascination, a visit to the Stollen Capital Dresden is recommended. 2023 is the year in which there will (finally) be many special opportunities to do so:
When the Striezelmarkt opens on 29 November 2023, visitors will be able to marvel, sniff and taste. The show bakery on the Altmarkt offers a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of the Stollen baker's craft and gain an insight into the production process, which for Dresden's bakers is a not inconsiderable feat of strength, but above all a passion and a matter of the heart. In the Christmas bakery, the Dresden stollen bakers turn little market visitors into real biscuit heroes.
By the Stollen Festival on 9 December 2023 at the latest, connoisseurs will be in seventh (stollen) heaven. The festive day in honour of the Dresden Christstollen is an absolute highlight in the pre-Christmas season. Tens of thousands of guests from all over the world gather for the grand parade and carry the magic of the stollen through the small streets of the historic Old Town. In the middle of it all: hundreds of proud Dresden stollen bakers as well as the patroness of the festival, the Dresden Stollen Girl and a giant stollen. In keeping with an old tradition and as a tribute to the Saxon bakery trade, the annual presentation of the giant stollen is once again part of the programme.
The Dresden adventure bakeries provide unforgettable icing sugar moments with their special baking courses and guided tours of the bakery for those interested. Whether with colleagues, family or friends: anyone who would like to bake the Dresden original themselves will receive the best instructions at these events. And all this from the masters themselves.
