Weihnachtsberg and its collection

Weihnachtsberg
Source

A Weihnachtsberg, also known as Winkel or Weihnachtswinkel in the Ore Mountains, is a mountain-like landscape replica that is set up inside the house during the Christmas season. This tradition involves decorating a corner of a room with a shelf-like wooden angle, on which the motif is built. The motifs displayed include nativity scenes, hunting and mining themes, as well as local topics.

Visiting Weihnachtsberge

Some Weihnachtsberge can be visited, often in a museum setting. For instance, in 2008, there was a special exhibition of Weihnachtsberge at the Museum for Mining Folk Art in Schneeberg. Today, Weihnachtsberge are enjoying increasing popularity and are finding their way back into private households.
