Tourist events etc. in Germany's "Großregion"- Bonn, Darmstadt, Frankfurt, Trier, Heidelberg, Koblenz, Mainz, Trier ..... Does not include anywhere in Belgium, Lux. or France.
Is simply "Germany's Greater Region" OK?
Explanation: ...strikes me as a slightly clearer option.
It is not the "Greater Region" of Germany, but those parts of the "Greater Region" that are within Germany. "Germany's Greater Region" sounds more like the former rather than the latter.

These places are all within the territory of the "Greater Region" (c.f. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Region); however, given the new information (context), one wonders whether the geopolitical entity known as the "Greater Region" is actually of relevance here, or whether it would suffice simply to say
of the "Greater Region"; however, given the new information (context), one wonders whether the geopolitical entity known as the "Greater Region" is actually of relevance here, or whether it would suffice simply to say "Christmas markets in the (wider) region".
With reference to your comment, there is no sentence as such. It's just a title: "WEIHNACHTSMÄRKTE IN DER GROSSREGION" followed by a list of all the Christmas markets in the region, opening times, special attributes etc....

The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
