About this audio guide
This guide to the Käthe Wohlfahrt Christmas Village in Rothenburg ob der Tauber follows a family business that began in nineteen sixty-four near Stuttgart, selling Christmas decorations to American soldiers, and the summer day it arrived on Herrngasse. It turns to the son, Harald Wohlfahrt, and his conviction that Christmas had a history worth keeping. Along the way come glass ornaments, Dresden cardboard figures and Erzgebirge nutcrackers. Best heard just inside the door, on the shop floor.
