Fascinating Christmas tradition in the windows

of the German Ceramic Museum – Hetjens

and the Polish Institute Düsseldorf

27.11.2024 – 31.1.2025

Colorful Krakow nativity scenes prepare the Düsseldorf audience for Christmas. They tell of the more than 200-year-old tradition of this fascinating craft, which was officially included in the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage in 2018.

The tradition of Krakow Christmas nativity scenes began in the early 19th century in the historic capital of Poland, which, with its numerous monuments, is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for nativity builders. Each nativity scene is a miniature version of the historic architecture of Krakow, depicting, among others, St. Mary's Church, Wawel Castle, and the Cloth Hall. For the construction of the nativity scenes, wood, cardboard, and colorful, gilded paper are used. A modest stable with the baby Jesus in a manger is almost nonexistent in Krakow nativity scenes. The Krakow Christmas nativity scenes are colorful, gold-adorned structures that can rival any fairy tale castle.

The fascinating handicrafts come from the collection of the Museum of the City of Krakow.
