The first parts of the Dresden Giant Stollen have been completed. According to the Dresden Stollen Protection Association, 275 of the so-called stollen slabs were produced at the weekend for the calorie-rich XXL pastry. The 60 x 40 centimeter slabs weigh seven kilograms and are to be assembled into a giant stollen. It will then be around 2.80 meters long and 1.40 meters wide. At the Stollen Festival on December 6, it will be driven through the city in a kind of procession and then cut at the Striezelmarkt. The proceeds go to a social cause.
