In This East German Village It’s Christmas All Year Round | Christmas Village Seiffen

Incense burners, nutcrackers, and candlestick holders are the ambassadors of a small German village: Seiffen in the Erzgebirge - also known as a toy village around the world. It always feels like Christmas here, in the very east of Germany. In Seiffen, there are many other wooden works of art made by hand besides Christmas pyramids. We looked around the peaceful little village.

Beautiful handmade German Folk Art. These are amazing craftsman and the work is incredibly georgeous. I loath these cheap made in China Christmas decorations. I have lived in Germany for decades and collected ULBRICHT, and STEINBACH Nutcrackers. Chip Christmas trees,, pyramids, and many other treasures. The Christmas markets will be open again this year. And will be a fantastic time at the markets all over Germany and the European Union. Long live the ," folk art" from the Ore Mountains!

Had the pleasure of spending some time in the lead up to Christmas in a few places in Germany. Loved the beautiful markets, the gingerbread biscuits, & the Christmas shops with the beautiful wooden figures. I was fortunate enough to come back with a pyramid, wooden nut crackers & smokers & a few other Christmas figurines. Every year it is such a joy to unpack & display these beautiful pieces.

Hopefully the craftsman is not breathing in as much dust as his jumper suggests.

Warum muss hier, 30 Jahre nach der Wiedervereinigung, im Titel immer noch von "Ostdeutschland" gesprochen werden? Warumsteht im Titel nicht einfach "Saxon Village"? Zumal das hier vorgestellte Handwerk ja traditionell mit dem Erzgebirge verbunden ist, und nicht mit den Kulturerbe der DDR.

[@reimann1903]

Warum nicht einfach aufhören Ostdeutsch mit DDR gleichzusetzen? Osten ist nunmal eine geografische Bezeichnung...

[@horstgunter9786]

Und Ostdeutschland ist sicher im Ausland noch eher nachzuvollziehen als Sachsen..

[@FiveOClockTea]

Ist halt geographisch im Osten. Man sagt ja auch Süd- und Norddeutschland

[@werner200294402]

East German as in DDR?

[@woozl1896]

Werner Krueger yes, but DDR is just history for more than 20 years now. Merry Christmas.

[@unapatton1978]

Or more correctly: in Saxony

[@RioMuc]

@@woozl1896 30 years, to be correct. The German Democratic Republic (Deutsche Demokratische Republik) stopped existing 1990.

[@sunrae3971]

@@RioMuc As an East German i like to annotate that West Germany also know as the the Bonner Republic stopped also existing.

Die Deutsche Weinachts markt sind schon! Did I say that right?

[@hansmayer7652]

Close :) "Die deutschen Weihnachtsmärkte sind schön" (singular=Weihnachtsmarkt; plural=Weihnachtsmärkte) 'The german Christmas markets are beautiful'. Frohe Weihnachten 🎄 (Merry Christmas)
