Benediktbeuern was the crowd puller in Tölzer Land on Sunday.

Thousands of visitors from all over the region flocked to the monastery village to finally stroll through the well-known Christmas market again.

The exhibitors were prepared and were happy about the great demand.

Benediktbeuern – "Finally there's a Christmas market in Benediktbeuern again," beamed a couple from Weilheim, who were already walking down the village street at around 11 a.m. with full shopping bags.

They bought home-made jam and bread, as well as special sausages and mistletoe.

"We come every year," they reported.

"And we missed it so much during the Corona period."

The two were not the first to be out in the morning.

When the Altbayerischer Christkindlmarkt was officially opened at 10 a.m. by a brass band on the village square, all the parking spaces near the market were already occupied.

By midday, crowds of people were crowding through the market.

The food stalls were also crowded.

300 liters of "shepherd's drink" prepared

The exhibitors had prepared for the onslaught.

Around 300 liters of "shepherd's drink" were available at the ski club, which had two stands with cakes, noodles and hot drinks, said Martin Schillinger, alpine sports manager.

Dozens of cakes were on display, all homemade by members and parents, of course.

"The net proceeds benefit the youth work," said Schillinger.

"We are glad that there is another market this year."

A few meters further, at the Boy Scouts, there was "Schifferl", a kind of tarte flambée, sold by members of the association and active people.

They had prepared around 600 pieces of dough, 80 liters of sour cream and 30 kilograms of bacon.

"We expect to be sold out, as in previous years," said Maximilian Wolff, secretary of the association.

“If there was anything left over, a local restaurateur would take it from us.” The “Scouts” also finance youth work projects with the proceeds.

At the booth of the Benediktbeurer Musikverein, there were not only home-baked and preserved foods, but also traditional costume accessories.

Visitors were happy to take a look and shop.

Many beautiful decorative items handmade

This year there were around 60 stands spread across the entire market, as well as a few open shops and the "Oberschmied", where there were Christmas decorative items made of metal.

That attracted visitors.

Crowds of people also stood in front of the many stands of associations with homemade, knitted and cooked items.

The EC Bad Tölz “Freundeskreis” fan club had quite a large offer: embroidered tablecloths and door loops, crocheted baby blankets and pot holders or socks.

"We have a lot because we haven't been able to sell for two years," says Lucia Bernhardt.

Socks are always in high demand.

The footballers also had cribs for sale, and the school's development association made key rings and printed bags.

The Catholic university community raised money for youth projects of the Salesians of Don Bosco in India with small decorative items such as fragrance lamps and the sale of waffles.

Commercial providers are happy about regular customers

The commercial suppliers were also happy about the many customers.

Christina Later from Walchensee was at the Christmas market with her soap workshop for the first time.

"I am very pleased that my application was accepted here," she said.

Above all, hair soap is in demand, she was able to report.

Sabine Sziedat, on the other hand, was looking forward to seeing her regular customers again.

The master hairdresser from “hairg'richt” in Benediktbeur is known for being able to do elaborate traditional hairstyles.

At their booth there were many hair accessories.

"I have needles that are hard to find anywhere else," she said.

"Some women come here especially for that."

Police: Calm market trend

It is very noticeable how people missed the market, reported Friederike Hüttner at the Baader stationery stand.

What is particularly in demand?

Hüttner smiled and pointed to a small Christmas tree pendant in the form of a purple dinosaur with glitter: "Something unusual is always possible."

The police were also happy about the quiet course of the market on Sunday, and they kept getting an overview.

At the time of going to press, no use had been reported.
