Note

Previously, the stollen was called "schreisel", which used to mean "a loaf of bread". Stollen was baked in a special shape, which resembled the baby Christ in swaddling clothes (therefore, even the dough was overlapped, as if swaddled). Like many other German pastries, it symbolized the crucifixion of Christ: for example, the pretzel symbolized the bond of Christ, the donut (without a hole) (Pfannkuchen) - the sponge that was given to Christ on the cross. However, to the miners, this bread resembled in shape the entrance to the mine, which is called "stollen" in German, so they renamed it.

Legends

When stollen was first baked, the ingredients were different. Advent, before Christmas is the time of fasting, and bakers could not use butter, only vegetable oil, so the bread was tasteless and hard. In 1647, Prince Ernst and his brother Duke Alrecht decided to fix the matter and wrote a petition to the Pope asking them to allow bakers to use butter, since the vegetable oil was too expensive, it was made from turnips, which were unhealthy. They received the permission of the Pope without penalty - but only in the prince's family. In 1691, others were also allowed to use oil, but with the condition of an annual payment of 1/20 of a gold guilder in support of the construction of Freiberg Cathedral.
The ban on butter was completely lifted when Saxony became Protestant.

Modern stollen

Over the centuries, bread has changed from tasteless "bread" to a sweeter baking with various additives, including marzipan. Stollen is baked in many countries of the world, however, copies are made much sweeter than the original.

Stollenfest

Despite the reproduction of the stollen all over the world, the "real" stollen with the special seal of King August the Strong is baked only in Dresden, and only 150 bakers.

Stollenfest is held in Dresden every year. This holiday began recently, in 1994, but the idea was proposed by Augustus the Strong in the 18th century: the king loved lavish feasts and in 1730 surprised the courtiers with a 1.7 ton stollen so that everyone could try it.The holiday is held every Saturday after the second Sunday of Advent, and on this occasion, a stollen weighing 3-4 tons is baked. A stollen cart takes part in the parade through the streets of Dresden, it is brought to the Christmas market and officially cut into pieces, which are distributed to everyone for a small amount to benefit charitable organizations. Stollen, baked in 2000, weighed 4.2 tons and got into the Guinness Book of Records.
