Auerdult

The Auerdult is a market that takes place three times annually in Munich's Mariahilfplatz: the Maidult takes place in May, the Jakobidult in July, and the Kirchweihdult in late October. It was first held in the year 1312. These pictures are from the 2002 Kirchweihdult.

You can buy almost anything at the Auerdult, from clothes to dishes to antiques. According to the Auerdult website, this market is the largest dish market in Europe. There certainly were a lot of dishes! There are also stands selling food, toys, and most anything else you can think of.

Along one row of the market are several tents where different products are being demonstrated. You can find demonstrations of kitchen items, tools, laundry supplies, and almost anything else here. One woman even had a newfangled toilet brush and a toilet that she was scrubbing right there! There are also some small fairground rides at the market.

My pictures from the Auerdult are up in the Postcards from Europe section.
