German Christmas Museum

The German Christmas Museum in Rothenburg ob der Tauber offers a compact, engaging look at the history of Christmas traditions in Germany. Its exhibits trace the development of festive customs, ornaments, Advent calendars, and gift-giving from the 19th century onward, with displays that feel especially fitting in this well-preserved medieval town. Located above Käthe Wohlfahrt’s famous Christmas shop, the museum is a worthwhile stop for visitors interested in seasonal culture, decorative arts, or Rothenburg’s holiday atmosphere at any time of year.
