Ceremonial cutting of the giant stollen at the Annaberg Christmas market
Traditionally, on the Sunday of the first Advent, the ten-kilogram giant stollen from the Annaberger Backwaren bakery is cut on the market stage by Lord Mayor Rolf Schmidt and this year's Stollen Girl Martha Zimmermann.
This project is cofinanced by tax funds on the basis of the parliamentary budget of the state of Saxony and by federal funds from the Beauftragter der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien (Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media), as well as funds from the City of Chemnitz.
