Historical research indicates that the Zibelemärit originated in the 1850s with marmettes, farmer's wives from around Murten, coming to Bern at around St. Martin's Day to sell their produce; however, a persistent local legend holds that the Zibelemärit is a much older festivity.
According to this legend, the Bernese awarded the people from the nearby city of Fribourg the right to sell onions in the city in reward for their aid after a fire destroyed much of Bern in 1405.
As the name indicates, it is mainly onions that are sold on the Zibelemärit.
Bernese farmers, who are proud of their decorative onion tresses and onion wreaths, also sell other onion products on the market, including Zwiebelkuchen (onion pie), onion soup and onion sausages.
Decorative chains of sugar onions are also popular with children.
The Zibelemärit opens very early in the day, at around 03:00 to 04:00.
Later in the morning, the narrow alleys are usually packed tight with people, which is what the Bernese call the Gstungg.
A general confetti battle in which mostly children participate ensues at four o'clock in the afternoon, officially ending the market.

Ion exchange chromatography (or ion chromatography) is a process in chromatography that separates ions and polar molecules based on their attraction to the ion exchanger.
It works on almost any kind of charged molecule—including large proteins, small nucleotides, and amino acids.
The two types of ion chromatography are: "anion-exchange" and "cation-exchange" chromatography.
They are used in protein purification, water analysis, and quality control.
The water-soluble and charged molecules such as proteins, amino acids, and peptides bind to moieties which are oppositely charged by forming ionic bonds to the insoluble stationary phase.
The equilibrated stationary phase is made of an ionizable functional groups where targeted molecules of mixtures are separated and quantified while passing through the column.
A cationic stationary phase is used to separate anions and an anionic stationary phase is used to separate cations.
Cation exchange chromatography is used when the desired molecules to separate are cations and anion exchange chromatography is used to separate anions.
La Chaux-de-Fonds is the capital city of the district of La Chaux-de-Fonds in the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland.
After Geneva and Lausanne, it is the third-largest city in the French-speaking part of the country.
As of December 2016, 38,965 people lived there.
The city was founded in 1656.
The region was first inhabited around 10,000 years ago (Epipaleolithic).
In the middle of the 14th century, the region was colonized from the southern Val-de-Ruz.
La Chaux-de-Fonds is first mentioned in 1350 as la Chaz de Fonz.
In 1378 it was mentioned as Chault de Font.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, a second wave of colonization came from the so-called Clos de la Franchise (the valleys of Le Locle and La Sagne).
Agriculture was the main activity but the village remained small.
In 1531 there were only about 35 people living there.
The first church was built in 1528.
By 1530,  La Chaux-de-Fonds, like the rest of the Valangin lands, converted to the new Reformed faith.
The  Lord of Valanginian, René de Challant, fixed the boundaries of the parish in 1550.
The church and parish provided a political structure and a small community of Valanginian citizens, free farmers and peasants grew up around the church.
By 1615 there were 355 people living in the village.
In 1616, the low and middle jurisdiction over La Chaux-de-Fonds moved to Le Locle and La Sagne, while the high court remained in Valanginian.
The agriculture, supplemented by mills on the banks of the Doubs, continued to dominate.
However, at the end of the 16th century, the city became an important crossroad between Neuchâtel, Franche-Comté and the Bishopric of Basel.
The community grew during the Thirty Years' War, mainly because of its strategic position for trade.
Economic activity accelerated in the 18th century with the development of the city's lace and watchmaking industries.
Pierre Jacquet-Droz, best known for his automata, was a particularly prominent watchmaker of this era.
In 1794, the city was devastated by fire.
Charles-Henri Junod created the new city's plan in 1835, and the city is now known for its "modern," grid-like plan, in comparison with most European cities' meandering streets.
The central avenue is named the Avenue Léopold Robert.

Elizabeth Eckford (born October 4, 1941) was a member of the Little Rock Nine.
This was a group of African-American students who became the first black students ever to attend classes at Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas.
They were able to attend the school after a court case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka.
The court ordered that schools had to integrate black and white students.
Elizabeth's attempt to go to school was photographed on the morning of September 4, 1957.
She was prevented from entering the school by the Arkansas National Guard.
A dramatic snapshot by Johnny Jenkins (UPI) showed the young girl being followed and threatened by an angry white mob; this and other photos of the day's startling events were circulated around the US and the world by the print press.
The most famous photo of the event was taken by Will Counts of the Arkansas Democrat.
His photo was the unanimous selection for a 1958 Pulitzer Prize, but since the story had earned the Arkansas Gazette two other Pulitzer Prizes already, the Prize was awarded to another photographer for a pleasant photograph of a two-year-old boy in Washington, D.C. A different photo taken by Counts of Alex Wilson, a black reporter for the Memphis Tri-State Defender being beaten by the angry mob in Little Rock the same day, was chosen as the "News Picture of the Year" for 1957 by the National Press Photographers Association.
This image by Counts prompted President Dwight D. Eisenhower to send federal troops to Little Rock.

Pliny's Comedy and Tragedy villas were two Roman villas owned by Pliny the Younger in the 1st century.
They were on the shores of Lake Como in northern Italy.
Pliny had several villas on Lake Como.
He wrote to his friend Voconius Romanus that the Comedy villa and the Tragedy villa were his two favorites.
In Italy, the villas are called Villa Commedia and Villa Tragedia.
In Italian, "commedia" means "comedy" and "tragedia" means "tragedy".
In his letter to Voconius Romanus Pliny also wrote that the Tragedy villa was on a hill above the lake but that the Comedy villa was right on the water's edge.
Their names come from the theatre of ancient Greece and Rome.
Pliny said that the villa on the hill was like the actors in tragedies who wore platform boots.
He named that villa "Tragedy".
The villa down by the water was like the actors in comedies who wore flat slippers.
He named that villa "Comedy".
Both villas were destroyed long ago.
No one is sure exactly where they stood.
Most people think that the Tragedy villa  was in Bellagio, a small town on Lake Como.
People are less sure where the Comedy villa was.
The historian Paolo Giovio (1483-1552) thought that by the 16th century the Comedy villa was under the water of Lake Como near the village of Lenno.
The geographer Abraham Ortelius (1527–1598) also wrote that the Comedy villa was in Lenno.
But in 1876 a Roman mosaic floor and many Roman coins were found in Lierna, another small town on Lake Como.
Many people there now think that the mosaic floor was part of the Comedy villa.
In the early 20th century the French geographer Élisée Reclus wrote that Lierna was the site of one of Pliny's villas, but he did not say which one.
In 1751 John Boyle, 5th Earl of Orrery, published his English translation of Pliny's letters.
The letter to Voconius Romanus describing the Comedy and Tragedy villas was illustrated with an imaginary picture of the Comedy villa drawn by Samuel Wale.
The art historian Pierre de la Ruffinière du Prey, has said that the villa in Wale's drawing looks like Alexander Pope's villa on the River Thames in London.
Alexander Pope was a friend of John Boyle.
Pliny's own description of the Comedy villa in his letter said that its terrace was gently curved like the shore of the lake.
He could fish directly from his bedroom window.
He said that lying in his bed at the Comedy villa was like lying in a fishing boat on the lake.
