With three fairs (spring, summer and winter) per year it is the biggest and the longest fair throughout Germany. It attracts approximately ten million visitors annually.{{Citation needed|date=December 2009}} This ''[[Volksfest]]'' (lit. peoples fair) is a [[funfair]]. It is located in the center of Hamburg on the Heiligengeistfeld. == History == A market in or in front of [[St. Mary's Cathedral (Hamburg)|Hamburg's Cathedral]] ({{lang-de|Hamburger Dom}}) was first recorded in 1329, at the beginning only in special seasons like [[Christmas]]. With the [[Protestant Reformation]] in the 16th century the fair was also held at other times. After the demolition of the cathedral (1804&ndash;1807), the market was held on the ''[[Gänsemarkt]]'' (geese market) in 1804, but kept the name ''[[Duomo|Dom]]''. Since 1892, the funfair was held at ''Heiligengeistfeld'' (lit. field of the Holy Spirit) and the name was used for all fairs in the area.<ref name=hhlex/> * ''Winterdom'' or ''Dommarkt'' (winter fair or cathedral market): 30 days in late autum * ''Sommerdom'' or ''Hummelfest'' (summer fair or ''Hummel'' market):<ref name=hummel/> since 1947: 31 days during summer * ''Frühlingsdom'' (spring fair): since 1948, 30 days in spring == References == {{Reflist|refs= <ref name=dom>The German term ''Dom'' ({{lang-it|Duomo}}) is the [[synecdoche]], used - pars pro toto - for most persisting or former [[collegiate church]]es and cathedrals alike. Therefore the uniform translation of this term into English as cathedral is correct in this case, but in many other cases it is inappropriate.</ref> <ref name=hhlex>{{cite encyclopedia |last=Eckardt |first=Hans Wilhelm |editor=Fanklin Kopitzsch and Daniel Tilgner |title=Hamburger Dom |encyclopedia=Hamburg Lexikon |pages=202 |publisher=Ellert&Richter |year=2005 |edition=3 |isbn=3-8319-0179-1 |language=German }}</ref> <ref name=hummel>Hummel is the name of an Hamburg original see [[Johann Wilhelm Bentz]]< COOL MAN == External links == *{{Commons category|Hamburger Dom}} *[http://hamburger-dom.de/ Hamburger DOM] *[http://hamburger-dom.de/geschichte.html DOM History] {{Coord|53|33|14|N|9|58|15|E|region:DE-HH_type:landmark|display=title}} [[Category:Festivals in Hamburg]] [[Category:Beer festivals in Germany|Hamburger DOM]] [[Category:Visitor attractions in Hamburg]] {{Germany-festival-stub}} [[de:Hamburger Dom (Volksfest)]] [[it:Hamburger Dom]]'
