Christmas Museum – where Santa Claus and Nutcracker are at home

Immerse yourself in the Christmas world of the Christmas Museum in Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

Christmas tree in the Christmas villageKäthe Wohlfahrt Christmas Village

Where? Herrngasse 1, 91541 Rothenburg ob der Tauber

What? You can search for traces of Christmas above Käthe Wohlfahrt's legendary Christmas village and refresh memories of your own celebration. Why do we put up a Christmas tree at Christmas? And how was the tree decorated in the past?

Quick fact: Part of the exhibition is about the evolution of the character of Santa Claus: Did you know that he was not always portrayed as the friendly, older man in the red coat that he is now known as around the world?

Definitely do: An extraordinary collection of nutcrackers, Christmas tree stands and historical Advent calendars await guests.

Opening hours: Please find out more directly on the museum's homepage.
