The largest and oldest Christmas market in Munich was first documented as a Nikolaimarkt (Nikolausmarkt) in 1310, making it one of the oldest Christmas markets in the German-speaking world. It started as the Welcoming of Christ the Child Christ Kind in German at the beginning of the four Sundays of Advent that ends with Christmas Day, which is the 25 December. The Christmas market is a fair connected with the seasonal period and infused with our religion, which very much organized everybody´s lives back then. In Medieval times, rights to hold fairs were often granted by the feudal lords to convents and bishoprics both as income generation for the religious work and as a city development tool. Many towns trace their prosperity to the market rights. The close association between the local cathedral and the Christmas market is still evident although the taxes now go elsewhere.

The largest and oldest Christmas market in Munich was first documented as a Nikolaimarkt (Nikolausmarkt) in 1310, making it one of the oldest Christmas markets in the Germanspeaking world.
It started as the Welcoming of Christ the Child – “Christ Kind” in German – at the beginning of the four Sundays of Advent that ends with Christmas Day, which is the 25 December.

The Christmas market tradition has been revived and has now become a major holiday event. It has become a source of entertainment and enjoyment not only for the city and its local lands but for visitors from many other countries. Christmas markets have especially developed lightning to spread merriment in the dark Winter months and they vie with each other to be the best.
The Roman Empire was divided in two by Diocleatian in 284 AD. He believed the empire was too large to rule for one man and created the tetrarchy – a four man rule – with two rulers in the west (Maximian and Constantius the Pale) and two in the east (himself and Galerius).
Convinced of his own success he abdicated and soon the tetrarchy collapsed.
Constantine eventually restored order and became emperor in 305 AD and was the first Roman emperor who converted to Christianity.
In Europe the border between the Western and Eastern Roman empires was made up by the Sava river and parts of the Drini river that flows into the Sava river, today part of the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.
Emperor Constantine who ruled until 337 AD is known as Constantine I or Constantine the Great. He re-founded Byzans as “New Rome” until it became Constantinople.
