Auer Dult

So I am too lazy to describe this market which is right next to where I live. So wikipedia will:

The Auer Dult is a traditional annual market in Munich, Germany, taking place three times per year on the Mariahilfplatz in the Munich district of Au. The first fair of the year, the so-called Maidult (May fair) is held in the first weekend of the month. The Jakobidult takes place in July and the Kirchweihdult occurs in the week after Kermesse. Each one lasts nine days.

The Auer Dult is considered to be the largest crockery market in Europe: Pots, porcelain, and other ceramic wares wares are available at numerous Standl (stands). In addition, other household accessories, natural healing remedies and clothes are available. Many stands also offer antique books and commodities. The assortment of items ranges from chamber pots to rustic furniture.

So that being said, here is what it looks like...

First thing Gretchen did? Buy a huge pretzel
ahhh, lots of junk!

Ok the book stands were more interesting

Teas

One of the many ceramics stands. We tried, unsuccessfully, to find a mug with the name Gretchen on it.

They didn't have Gretchen, but thank god they had this

Presumably for Guido's girlfriend


Really?! How can you top this Munich. Immer klasse!!!

  1. "The assortment of items ranges from chamber pots to rustic furniture."

    Are chamber pots a "commodity" or a "household accessory"?

    Also, please tell me you found a chamber pot, but just did not post a photo.
