Weihnachten in Sachsen
Wooden figures from the Ore Mountains, Pulsnitz gingerbread, Herrnhut stars and Meissen porcelain tell different stories from Saxony. At Christmas they appear together in windows, on the table and as gifts.
Weihnachtsfreu brings these stories together with recipes, paper crafts and regional discoveries. Makeradvent adds opportunities to try creative activities. Visit the Christmas market calendar for current market information.

Nutcrackers, smoking figures and Christmas pyramids are part of the Ore Mountains’ craft tradition. Woodworking and mining history helped shape their development.
