Here I am on the Christmas market in Essen. They have a bit of a fair in one part of the city center. You can see thge Ferris wheel from far away.


There’s the old synagogue. The windows were broken by the firefighters during the ‘Reichskristallnacht’. It was restored as a museum and place of remembrance and is now being restructured as a meeting place.


Part of the Christmas market has a middle ages theme. There are old-fashioned clothes, food, jewelry, etc.


Big stars of light are hung up along some streets,


The main Christmas market is covered by a curtain of lights, it look a bit like there are lots of little stars in the sky.
