About this audio guide
This guide to the German Christmas Museum in Rothenburg ob der Tauber follows the Weihnachtsmann, Germany's Christmas Man, as a matter of faith and custom rather than toys. It reaches back to the Reformation and the bishop-saint Nicholas, to a poet's song of eighteen thirty-five and a Munich artist's hooded figure of eighteen forty-seven. Along the way you'll meet a German-born cartoonist in America. Best heard while walking the exhibition, upstairs from the Christmas shop.
