Fränkische Weihnachtsgeschichten

Every year, the Christmas house in Mellrichstadt shines with the glow of over 15,000 lights. In Gemünden, however, the atmosphere is more contemplative during the Christmas season at the Kreuzschwestern. The Pelzmärtel makes his rounds in Middle Franconia around Martini or St. Nicholas. Those who want to ensure that their wish list reaches the Christkind can send it to the Christmas post office in Himmelstadt – a response is guaranteed. A visit to the famous Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt is, of course, a must, as is participating in the sacrament procession in Obertrubach, where 5,000 candles illuminate the village in a shimmering light every year on January 3rd. Susanne von Mach shares stories of these and many other experiences, customs, and traditions from the good old winter and Christmas time in Franconia in this volume. Immerse yourself in a typical Franconian Christmas and let the atmospheric stories enchant you.
