Stollen, originally known as striezel (from which the market takes its name), is a traditional Dresden Christmas sweet bread. It is full of raisins and other candied or dried fruit and topped with powdered sugar.

Its sweet smell wafts through the market, drawing crowds all day long.Read more about European Christmas Markets and Reflections on Dresden's Christmas Market.
