During Advent, Nuremberg's Hauptmarkt is transformed into a sea of red and white decorated wooden stalls. Around two hundred traders present traditional wares such as the famous Nuremberg Rauschgoldengel (golden foil angels) or handmade Nuremberg Zwetschgenmännle, little figures made from dried plums.
